A Visit From Massacre Fairy 1st Half

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town Not a creature was breathing, not one to be found. Bloody hand prints swept the walls which once were white Darkness overshadowed anything that had light Little boys were decapitated and sprawled across the floor, While little girls were skinned alive; hung as décor for every door. Mothers had their jaws ripped straight from their heads As their children screamed for mercy from their very own beds. Panic and pain ricocheted off the walls Pets were brutally butchered then stretched out in the halls And Fathers were kept alive long enough to observe Then their eyes were gouged only to dangle by an optic nerve Fifty-six minutes is all the creature takes To slay the whole town with its massacre earthquake Agony rained something fierce this night For this town was caught in the worst of plights And the echo of dripping blood is now all you can hear The stench swimming through the air is encapsulated fear. To have dodged this slaughter would have been transmundane For this monster, this beast was most definitely inhumane It came through the windows and tore through the blinds Grabbing any human or beast it could find Then Slash the body! Gnash at the body! Bash them in the crown! And Thrash the body! Lash at the body! Mash the body down! Then it rips out your tongue and swallows it whole This fiendish freak has a heart made of coal When wondering eyes caught a glimpse of what did appear They knew it wasn’t Santa and his flying reindeers

Quite a job here you've done on Ole St. Nick ;) [Well come to Soup, I am having a contest featuring writes from different shamanic cultures, I bet you knew the Norse had Shamans! Do you think you could write us a verse about this legacy from your area of the world? Let me know in soup mail!] Light & Love

Welcome to my world Kristina. Let's play a poetry game. I will write a poem. Then you write the poem in your own words. It's called creating poetry. Would you like to give it a try.
