Poppet

Posted Feb 21, 2011 · 16 lines · 2 critiques

Maliciousness falls in a toxic seasoning
upon fragile head of little poppet whose
untainted effigy freshly picked simmers
in a stew of negligence.

Violence delivered upon her pallid flesh
harshly decreed by the loathsome giants,
whose barbaric stride crush her body
beneath putrid ocher feet.

The reek of long festering decay drops ominously
from these ogres' damaged brains. Eyes blank,
jaws clenching teeth, and fists balled in unwelcome
approach, the nightmarish realities lurch forward ...

Destruction their agenda.

"But I disagree with Anna, the last line (or 3 or 4 extra) could turn this into a well written morbid piece of decay into something splendid. I offer no suggestions, it's up to you."
