My Darkest Sire

My Darkest Sire

A Poem by Drama Child

My Darkest Sire

 

I’ll paint the scenario,

etch it to memory

Of the spooky,

ill-faced mask before me.

He boasted wicked with his tongue,

sang in all canary cages.

Cast over me carnival of spiders,

his master prank in all it's stages.

I clutch tight my swollen heart,

with mind on borrowed battery

Speak as lioness, tout as jaguar,

but lies lurk beneath the flattery.

Tales of woe,

my darkest sire,

it was nothing, so it seems.

Take the walk,

it’s all talk,

his love was only dreams.

I think you pushed it just peachy fine! Truly, I made an interesting list of words that push the imagination, for they aren't all in the same scheme of things. That's what creates the challenge to one's muse. Nicely woven tale of betrayal! Thank you for entering the 10 Words I Give contest!
