Slither

Crawling...through...dirt and mud,grass and wood bones and blood,flesh it lusts............ Slither Mephetic...lair...carnal sludge,abhorrant slugs worms and bugs,a wretched flood............ Slither Horrid...stare...incarnate scene,morbid beings deathly rot,leeches suck............ Slither Frigid...shell...devoured within,decayed skin Skeletal remains,infestive feast in bane............ Slither

HA HA HAAAAA...Death is not an easy topic for most people.I myself hate the topic with what I know now and am wiser in my ways!I think this dark topic was a way of dealing with fear which death plays the ultimate role in.I used to be afraid of the dark when young but I have surrounded myself with it growing up.Thank you for your time and comments!!

That was the intent my friend.I feel that when I write I have to be graphic to drive the point home and it usually does the trick!Thank you for your time and comments!!
