Demon Scarecrow

He hung way up high intently Fear he delivers corruptly Scarecrow lives only for the night Absorbing any signs of light Sending chills to all hatefully Arms spreading along perfectly Scarecrow looks down menacingly Causing fear is his main delight Demon scarecrow There’s nothing peaceful seemingly Evil comes straight through heedlessly Fright comes to those who are in sight Power of the scarecrow tonight Tortures your hurt soul endlessly Demon scarecrow

hey, russell, I just noticed something. you have not started line one with the phrase "demon scarecrow." NOw I am wondering if you have been remembering to do that in your other Rondeau poems. Let me go check.
