What could live beneath radiation's Mushroom storm cloud? The heavens are burnt asunder, Horizons red dawn glows, With an eerie mist. Lightening and thunder strikes, Against fallout’s atmospheric residue, Ashes debris falls as embers fire. Emerging from the depths below, A creature surfaces, a monster With rages vengeance, flowing Through it's veins. Born from human arrogance, And ignorance, a genetic mutation. Natures evolutionary throw back, Our legacy of destruction, A reptilian tidal wave. With an earth shattering roar, A tremendous force felt around, The world, He announce his calamity to come. Wading through the ocean depths, The king of all lizards, A clashing titan, heading towards Civilization, at torpedo's Super sonic velocity. A great reckoning is at hand, Conflicts Jurassic hurricane, Slams against the shores of Reality, known as Tokyo bay. Wreckage’s wrecking ball, tares apart Mankind’s environmental habitat, Without any mercy. Hell's fiery breath, is spewed forth From his jaws of death, radioactivity's After shock, lives within this dooms Days creature. As electricity's feedback, shimmers Downwards, on his spiny back, Seemingly to recharge the beast. He roars once more, as a wake up call, Beware his name lives in your Night mares, Behold Godzilla, the king of all Monsters. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN

A fun read. There are not enough poems about Godzilla, but there is a good song about him: Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla. Some subjects never go out of style.

Dear Cheri, Awesome description of the reptile demon! There's a new movie out about him now - the third remake I think. The one with Matthew Broderick was great. My favorite line is "Born from human arrogance, and ignorance..." The same could definitely be said of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Did a college paper on the novel and was surprised it wasn't really scary at all, just very sad. Godzilla, on the other hand, is definitely scary! Great write. Best wishes, carolyn

This can be the new movie's awesome poetic tie-in. I've been a fan of Godzilla since I was little and it's great to see a poem made for him today. There aren't plenty so you go, Cheri! Very original
