The Monster

Let me tell you ,
of a tale .
A man ,
legends are made .
Like none ,
known before .

Hair strait ,
raven black .
Eyes fixed ,
burn like fire . 
 
On the darkest night .
A lone stranger,
went out .
To venture forth .
To find the monster ,
devouring everything ,
in it's course .

The monsters eyes ,
black as coal . 
It's cold dead skin ,
frighten to behold .

It's beady eyes ,
venture forth .
Destroying everything ,
in it's sight .
On the darkest nights .

My friend ,
came upon the monster .
By the old oak tree .
Sword in hand .
He did not cease .
Till he devoured ,
the beast .

The townsfolk ,
do sleep .
No longer frightened ,
of the beast .
