Warlock's Ploy

Warlock stands atop Entire world, splashing hatred Into each person That ever hopes in getting Ahead in this world of death Where the plush is gone Hope is ever elusive And the spider weaves His daring web of deceit Luring the lost inside it Warlock laughs at us Thinking us to be lost souls Without the darkness That he so envelopes in His dark soul, eaten distraught Now the warlock preys He looks towards the missing The lost ones inside And he converts them into The deepest darkest minions Servants of his craft Do his bidding whenever He desires them to He tries to get as many People under his hate spell He will try to spin The web of disillusion So people may think He is something that he’s not To one day rule this planet

loved this awesome write, Russell. I often forget to mention warlocks in Halloween poems - must have a warlock or two next time, lol

Hi Russell, first your poem is wonderfully woven, I was entranced, and the warlock is the devil for sure, with his evil lures. One must be on guard at all times because he comes even as a lamb. Love Constance

That will never happen though @ last line of last verse. There is a power that is so big and great than his, so he is sealed doomed, already! A great poetic write my friend. One love. Joy Wells
