Poetry Dice Challenge # 3: Labyrinth Of Souls (Original Poem)
If you haven't seen Pan's Labyrinth the movie you must check it out.
It is one of a kind. Anyway, here is my entry. If you aren't familiar with the rules of the poetry dice challenge, the objective is to write a poem using the images of each dice in the order that they are organized. The interpretation of using each image for each line is open but still must have some relative connection to the image on the dice. Here is the photo provided by @robyneggs
Deep somber slumber, Death's blinding kin, induces many sleep holds
Imaginative nightmares imprint like walking canes in fresh, deep snow
The coldness of the world burns a frostbite stronger than flames
There are entities who prey your death and want your soul to claim
"Drink the fountain of youth!" They'll coax you in darkness with lies
They'll lead you to tops of skyscrapers and drop you to your demise
Their extensions of black magic shoot out luminous orbs
This rabbit hole leads to imminent death, curving nowhere you're confused corpse
No matter which direction you go, this compass is barbed with war...
Thank you for reading this post in its entirety.
Special Thanks to @robyneggs for this amazingly creative and wonderful challenge. I'm really honored to be able to participate. She is helping to nurture so much creativity and growth through the poetry community and should be acknowledged. Best of luck to everyone's entries. Hope you enjoy my gif interpretations of the dice images, as well as my poem.

Hey there great poem, a dark and desperate subject of darkness which unfolds !! here is my latest post where I mention you ) https://steemit.com/music/@gomeravibz/gomeravibz-lets-rip-on-a-supermoon-jam-session-in-norway
Hey man! I was just about to get to your post and reply back in steemit.chat, been slightly side tracked today but I'm going to check out your post right now. Thank you very much for showing up in the comments section, I'm glad you enjoyed this poem. I will add the poetry dice image from now on so people can see the challenge of the images I have to include in the poem in the order the dice were rolled and which images they landed on.
The Poetry Dice needs more competitors. Thanks for joining and good luck!
Yes I agree. It's a great challenge indeed. Thank you for the warm welcome. I also look forward to your entry of you haven't done so already. Good luck to you as well.
Your entry looks like a winner to me. Your clever use of the cane was an early clue you have something great going on here.
Thank you once again. I still can't get over how creative this challenge is. Hopefully both of our poems will place.
New and improved with suggested actions to be taken located at each side of the image!
Impossible, it's even better than before! Thank you very much for the updated version! Can I please have the code to update all of my posts?
Right click on the GIF and copy the image address, that should work.
But, I'll still send it to you in chat just to make sure.
Okay thank you, I got the hang of it and updated all the posts I could. Be on the look out for Chapter 10 soon :) I'll be reading your Chapter 6 today.
Most Excellent @verbal-d and thank you for your recognition! :-) What a lovely and demented entry. ;-0
I'm glad to see this contest picking up some steem.
Great thinking and well done on getting this one going!
You're most welcome, it is well deserved to acknowledge your efforts. I'm glad you enjoyed the scenic environment I created, but I blame it on the dice lol. It just told the perfect storyline for this kind of poem.
I am already anxious to see what the dice are next week. When is the beginning of each new challenge?
It's Thursdays :-) I work but try and post that night with the winners. Just need your entries (no more than 3) in by then...like 3pm (PST)). XO :D
Nice, as a suggestion, I've seen others tag challenges in contests to get more exposure and support. Maybe it could benefit yours as well. Oh and three entries is too many for me, expect only one for each week :) thanks for the info.
