Word of the day haiku

Since I get dictionary.com’s Word of the Day, I thought these great writing prompts. So, let’s start the exploration, shall we?

Word of the day: noctambulous

Striding through the night
They wander while dreaming
The noctambulous

Hansel and Gretel’s Father

Children’s voices in town
Echoes in the forest
Crying out judgement
Of deep failure, trust
Crushed, sacrifices upon
Lust’s altar. Offerings
Offered to an uncaring
Soul. Reminders of
Horrors he willingly
Inflicted upon his beloved.
