Headless Horseman -Serventesio-

 Headless Horseman (Serventesio) He rides through the forest nightly Looking for a soul to pray on, Child clings to his mother tightly Hoping to see the light of dawn. The headless horseman laughs loudly While tears swell in the mother's eyes, Horseman raises his sword proudly The night is filled with the child's cries. Headless horseman reveals himself To the little motherless boy, Collects heads to put on his shelf His little life, is now destroyed. The horseman is filled, with such joy His collection goes in his bag, He leaves behind the little boy His heart tossed away like a rag. Copyright © Cynthia Jones Nov.2/2005 It's only supposed to be 4 lines long for this style, but once I started writing, I couldn't stop.
Got this idea from a pic on Digital Blasphemy.
