The Shadow on the Wall by Machelle Berglund In the dead of the night, as you awake from a peaceful sleep, you see a shadow in the periphery of your vision. Oh no! Is it coming closer?! Oh, thank goodness! It was just another shadow on the wall. Inside the pages of “The Shadow on the Wall”, the shadows are more than a mere illusion. They become real. As do skeletons, witches, ghosts and more. This haunted tome is Machelle Berglund’s third poetic endeavor. Each poem was crafted to tell a tale of the ghastly figures of Halloween and horror legend. These poems are meant to cause one to feel the chill grip of fear deep within their spine or cause the reader to let loose a gruesome giggle as their eyes wander through the pages. |

Through the Shards of My Heart by Machelle Berglund Ah, love! A powerful emotion. It can bring a spring into the steps of the lucky. The twinkle in their eye tells of the endless joy and laughter love had brought them. Loving hands cradle their hearts at all times. Others, however, may throw their hearts into the fire again and again. They hope for the warmth of a loving hand rather than to feel the pain of the blaze. And for a while, their wish may be granted; maybe for a short time, or for a blessed eternity. There are, however, the most unfortunate of souls whose hearts are forever twisted, forever scarred, and forever broken. But that doesn’t mean that their love is forever lost. They may not be whole, but through the shards of their heart, they can find and give love still. In “Through the Shards of My Heart”, you’ll find poems that explore the lows and the woes, the highs and the smiles, and the messy in betweens that love brings in all its forms. |
