31 days of halloween | bloody mary

One of my favorite things as a kid was this urban legend, subject of many slumber party tauntings, but as far as I know, no actually successful attempts to carry it out.  Not sure if even my adult self would be willing to go that far.   I think most urban legends are just that, legends, but lets not take any chances. 

This poem was included and was the title pieces in one of my first chapbooks and was included in my first larger book, the fever almanac, way back in 2006. 

*{All month long , I will be sharing work that delves into the strange and spookier side of things--poems, drafts, books, projects, artwork and more, some old, some brand spanking new.}
