2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 11
For the 2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Day 11 could get a little scary.
For today's prompt, write a scary poem. Maybe the poem shares a scary story. Or perhaps it reveals a real fear. Whatever scares one person may not scare another, but it doesn't make it any less terrifying for the one who is scared.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Scary Poem:
“Scary Good”
Sometimes it's scary
how good a meal is,
because I know I'll
want to relive it
again and again
until the last bite.
