Dangerous haunting melody
hypnotic enchanting tune
sleepy beautiful dancer
twirling, swaying, mindlessly
following a morbid song
parading down red velvet path
Mosolium gates swinging wide
waltzing into death's beckoning embrace

The prompt picture was wicked and you have created a concise vision of death's beckoning embrace! Congrats. on the Bronze!

I think that you meant 'mausoleum' instead of 'mosolium'... apart from that this is a wonderful poem... I really love the imagery you have used... and the short, concise form that you presented this in is brilliant in it's immediate effect on the reader
I really enjoyed this poem, thank you so much for the entry!
Keep writing
Polly
