Poem Title:
Poem
Feral Exchange I am well spotted and nasty and do not mind that description Will gather my fortune whatever is your inappropriate depiction Dig my teeth into your body and soul straight down to the bone Leave my scent on your remains with a well-executed stepping stone Once we hunted together and I took your lead and compassion Now I chose to digest you in the most vicious contemptible fashion Watch the smile in my fangs cutting deep into blood and intestine Straight in the open with no secrets nor lies or honesty clandestine A hyena must live up to her promise of laughing when stressed Revenge and retribution is delivered with vengeance at best Hurt is written on my posture and demeanour when I tear into carrion I am the epitome of self-righteousness so please don’t call me vulgarian When I stand upright above your decay you will fall on my sword As a reward for finding me repulsive now but once had me adored I’ll clean you because out a divorce is such an opportune affair To thrive on your misfortune whereas I am cultured and debonair You got me wrong folks I’m not dirty only clean up after the act To call me foul or unsocial is totally wrong and dishonestly inexact Know why I attack my once glorious protector it’s because I can I got you cold out of balance and that has always been my master plan ‘Oh dear ex fellow hyena you might have forgotten one miniscule detail In some sense only I’m quite similar to you and can rip out your entrails But I won’t let’s be clear about virtuous living and ethical behaviour By retorting with similar greed I would merely be your victim role saviour’ ‘I am also a hyena in a way that most humans will never comprehend Simply because they are your models of ignorance and I will remand You in your own prison meanwhile I found myself another cuddly companion Go sharpen your claws if you want but I’ll feast on love and kind understanding’ 01st July 2019 Pick a Title Vol 6 Personification Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Title chosen: Hyena
