a poem about facing monsters, both fictional and real
All in Poetry
Black Owl
A black owl with yellow eyes
is staring at me
relentlessly.
Desperation
desperation,
a ticket to the ball is purchased with deprivation,
lowering of one’s saturation
A Victorian Mansion
An October night
on the eve of Halloween
a young couple was walking.
In the Country
This place used to be full of people. Every house was the home of some red-cheeked family
Now the largest family is a group of bugs with shiny armor in the overgrown grass
Valley Lovers
With you I feel strong and whole, perhaps immune /
Fear cannot have me
Dark Origins
The Dark Urge storyline in Baldur’s Gate 3 may be one of the greatest ever written. Here’s how this tale about predestination, second chances, and different forms of acceptance reads as a poem.
Under a Willow Tree
Will it happen again / I asked, all quietly
Wish
Once upon a December you asked me;
‘What do you wish for,
When the clocks announce the midnight hour?’
tainted crown
it is you that haunts all of my anecdotes,
i know how to create distinct versions from one story.
