Ogre
Ogre
Often he’s a cranky,
Olive-skinned, swamp dwelling,
Obtusely-witted fiend...

Oh! My giddy aunt...RUN!

Consumed by a powerful flame.
They lay strewn all over the ground.
Just mere ashes, no more than dust.
Hardly anything that's living.
However, this is not the end.
The bird comes together once more.
It's more...

Of my golden ichor.

It's deadly for you.

Leads the way to another day.
Your words are smoke and mirrors.
Setting fire to the...

The monster - she watched as she lurked by a rock

The teasing - she vanished, except...

Poseidon and his wondrous steed;
