Thwacking Poems | Examples


Premium Member The Run Away Cauldron

Long ago before the High Fae before man, there was a Cauldron
They say all the magic was contained inside it since the world began  
One day it fell in the wrong hands and great horrible things were done to it 
Many an object was forged but eventually it ran away heading for the hills  
It could not be destroyed, for it was made of many things, including steel 

Late at night behind the mountains in the deep thick forest 
the village people heard banging, clanging, and smacking 
but when the morning arrived, all was quiet once again 
Then one day a brave little boy went into the forest to see 
The cauldron sensing the boy near stopped the thwacking right away 

"Jiminy Cricket" what do we have here"  cried the boy 
Cauldron spewed red lava from its top, then sirened like a cop 
"not so loud" whined Jeremiah, just hold still and I will help you 
then he scraped and he slashed and he pulled all night 
until the cauldron was bare,  beneath the moonlight 

Long ago before the dark witches of Chenwick village chanted in bold 
their was a lovely Cauldron that refused to do evil, or so I was told.
