I Am Anaya Poet Triolet

The Demon Haunted World

The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark—Carl Sagan
  
            Listen to the demons whispering in your ear 
            You can’t help her, it painfully repeated 
            You’re mine they tell me, they can taste my fear 
            Listen to the demons whispering in your ear 
            My twisted body cracked and defeated
            I can feel my head spinning ‘round depleted
            Listen to the demons whispering in your ear
            You can’t help her, it painfully repeated

Caren Krutsinger October 14, 2022 at 10:15 PM Sometimes the internal voice is frightening. This is one of those times "You’re mine they tell me, they can taste my fear " I Am Anaya October 15, 2022 at 2:58 PM It is frightening, isn't it? Perfect words for a good scare, Caren thanks for the visit, I appreciate it! Anaya

Victor Buhagiar October 9, 2022 at 1:47 AM I know from experience how difficult it is to write a triolet. To get rid of demons you need a holy expert exorcist. I Am Anaya October 10, 2022 at 8:21 AM I listen to a night show that frequently has a real exorcist guest who tells his tales, so scary! I enjoyed the triolet form for my scary Halloween theme.

Bill Baker October 9, 2022 at 12:09 AM Haunting Triolet, I Am Anaya. well written my friend. Bill I Am Anaya October 10, 2022 at 8:17 AM It is a scary thing, I'm glad you found it haunting, something for the spirit of Halloween! Thank you, Bill

Unseeking Seeker October 8, 2022 at 6:48 PM In actuality, exorcism too is enabled by love alone. The entity wishes to merge with God’s light but is afraid, wilting in guilt. Once it understands that there is nothing to fear and there is no judgment* (*save repaying debts of love owed), the entity asks for forgiveness and glides into heaven. Just saying ~ your poem is perfectly crafted I Am Anaya October 8, 2022 at 6:59 PM Some feel a fine line between love/hate and Angels/Demons It's a blessing to be dis-illusioned and thus set free. Always love to hear from you, US!
