Are these poems ten years old? Or are they from the mind of a ten-year old? Find out in 10-Year Old Creepy Poems, the first poetry collection from Rory Forsythe-Elder. In addition to the stunning poetry from an emerging talent in the world of horror poetry, this edition includes exclusive never before published photography from the author’s dad.

Rory Forsythe-Elder authentically embodies the spirit of horror storytelling, with oft a comedic twist spun inside these pithy poems.”  — Kaci Elder, author of Making Math: A Story and Lupa

Plague

 

The deadly plague came quick and rough,
Causing a lot of pretty horrible stuff.
Coughing, choking, diarrhea,
And even worse, three hours at Ikea!
