Dreams in the Witch House by Rob Stanley

Inspired by HP Lovecraft. Poem by Autumnwind Nightmares Nestled deep in subconscious desperation / Immersed in constant dread and frustration / Gruesome, disturbing visions of fear / Horrific incarnations, relentless and severe / Tormented, demented realities collide / Monsters and demons that usually hide / A captive of theatre I’m forced to endure / Rich in its darkness, its meaning obscure / Entrenched in this evil sleep full of lies / Shuddering and shaking I open my eyes

Inspired Art ! on Nov. 7, 2009 This image is an homage to Edgar Allen Poe. / Earthmonster provided the template (background/house) image for a challenge in the All in the Editing group. The photo of the crow is mine. The verse from The Raven describing this scene is: Deep into that darkness peering, / long I stood there wondering, fearing, / Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal / ever dared to dream before / But the silence was unbroken, / and the darkness gave no token, / And the only word there spoken was / the whispered word, `Lenore!’ / This I whispered, and an echo murmured / back the word, `Lenore!’ / Merely this and nothing more. / / The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe / Published January 29, 1845 / / Click the link ABOVE to hear “Edgar Allen Poe” read his poem. The Raven is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven’s mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man’s slow descent into madness. The lover is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word “Nevermore”. (Wikipedia)

Temple City by Bunny Clarke

We had been traipsing around the galaxy in hunt of the legendary city known as Temple City. It is said the civilization there depended greatly on their priests to run the city and their government. From our past history, we know how that can end. As we walked througout the many levels of the city, there was cinder scattered all over. Having dual suns made the lighting a bit eerie at times. There was no wildlife in the air nor the ocean. We found no life in the city. The temples were gorgeous, but there was a feeling of sadness all throughout the area. We left with the feeling of great loss. And no, we did no treasure hunting. :o) Created in Incendia with postwork done in Photoshop for Hue and some clean up with smudging and painting that never seemed to go away from the 6 day render. Some of the forms just seem to work out that way. Thank goodness for Photoshop. :o)

Room without a view - blocked in every way by Lina Woods

In a room without a view / Lots of time, nothing to do / I sit, watch the days go by / I don’t need to wonder why In a room without a view / Lots of time, nothing to do / In a room without a view, without you This room is the perfect size / And it never tells me lies / Many pleasant memories / All repeating worthlessly here I find security, no problems here for me / This is where I want to be / And whether I like it or not, a room without a view is what / I’ve got Here I find security, so please don’t bother me / This is where I ought to be / And whether I like it or not / A room without a view is what I’ve got In a room without a view / Lots of time, nothing to do / I sit, watch the years go by / I don’t need to wonder why (by The Smithereens)
