Shish Kebab Poems | Examples

Darkest Hour

Darkest hour of the night
And Moon it shrivels
Out of sight; clash of steel
Inside his head, a Gladiator
Falls down dead.The victor
Stands behind his shield
And raises sword to crowd’s
Appeal; plebeian shrieks
Of horrid joy celebrate
A life destroyed. 

The dreamer turns within
His bed and contemplates
The slave that's dead; another
Image forms inside, more
Secrets that he won’t 
Confide.Ten foot lances 
Battle spread, hundreds poised 
In line ahead ; imagine
Men impaled on spears
Like Shish Kebab and
Dripping tears.

Darkest hour passes by
The Moon it shines high
In the sky. Clouds they 
Part , and stars resolve
And snoozing heads 
Dreams soon dissolve.
Dropping like a stone
Down deep, he vanishes
In darkest sleep.
