Ode Rise of Poetry Death of the Owl King Part 1

Never make deals with devils or run from them fight tooth and nail strike the root kill the stem who rides Dark wooden trails poet’s wild hunt crossing paths light shatter the cold front riding a goat, great red beard with goat's hooves evil’s king many cloven slippers behooves storm of lies hold truth as bosom’s bride showing as angel of light but death hides Beneath the willows of time in alder realms dark past under the flowering wicker’s elm night rituals try to reclaim what is not theirs hounds run devil-may-care Harlequins dare krampus jolly olé nick Binding birch whip eight legged lies bloody tongue does drip * - based upon Erlking, Der Erlkönig and his supernatural death
