Hi Gypsy. Well written and illustrated horror tanka. Each word is carefully chosen to arrive at the stated conclusion--"he seduced the beast within." Sometimes we cannot get enough of a good thing. Marilyn

Comment from Hitcher
Nice! Loved your choice of artwork to accompany your well crafted horror Tanka, you've got to love the dark malevolent ancient creatures and their lust for human blood. Great entry for the contest, good luck!

Comment from Joan E.
I am not into the horror genre, but your understated treatment in the tanka form is very effective. As I scrolled down the image surprised me but made me want to hear the story behind it. Your final line concluded the dramatic tale well. Sighs- Joan

Hello, JOan,
Hehehe, sorry about that, it's not too scary. I love horror movies and stories. Thank you for reading even though is not your favorite genre. :)

Comment from Lu Saluna
A more subtle but still very disturbing. Clearly, during an amorous exchange, the poor victim was exsanguinated. Tempting fate with fatal beauty does come at a price.
Great horror tanka.

This certainly creates a mood of horror. The wording is excellent. I especially like essence effervesced. It flows very smoothly too. Seduced the beast within makes a great conclusion. Excellent presentation. Best of luck in the contest with this. It's a scary one. judi

Ooops, you want to scare an innocent little thing like me off, Gypsy Blue Rose? Pulling your leg, of course. Your pics are always super-sharp and I wonder if you do them yourself or have a particular photographer.
Nice one anyway.

Hahaha... sorry about that but is a horror tanka and I have to scare you. (Smile)
I don't take my own pictures. I find them on Google public domain. I'm a painter and some times I use my paintings.
Thank you, darling,
Gypsy

I think you really did a good job on this one. It is pretty scary for only five lines. I love the the picture and the overall presentation. This will be hard to beat

I think Dean's tanka is scarier but I want to enter the contest anyway. It is fun. :) Thank you for the six smackeroos and kindness. Can't ever get enough of that.
Divine Love Bless you,
