The King's In Danger

the king's in danger


in the shadows of the night

there hides a mighty fright

mellow moans and ghostly sights

chinese bells and mandrin dreams

that haunt this asian king



may his queen arise to sing

to ward off red demon wings



to chase away the dragon's 

tail that slings


for the king is in grave 

danger of the evil night things


My version of a chinese horror poem.

This is the magic I lovvvvvvvvve to read in poetry, mystic odes to un brave Kings. Are a joy to read, does hint out evil like you said, but that is what makes it so perfect to read, enjoyed,..p.d.
