The Click of Heals

The Click of Heals

A Poem by E.H. Monroe
"

Beware dear Oz, For I am thy undoing!

"

Considered step upon the bricks of gold,

   Their broken souls I’ve buried under mire,

   My voice of embers sets the muck on fire,

               Locasta’s tears reflect as Oz unfolds.

The field of poppies genuflects in fear

                His Rusted tin in pieces, sprayed in grief

                Lay Skinned, his hide hangs on emerald leaf

                The Flying monkeys stroke the sky’s frontier

She runs, her crystal slippers no defense

                Into a nightmare waking into blood.

                The Green to dust, the scarecrow’s remnants shown

To reveal the hopeless wish. The presence

                Of the wizard’s deal. Her form chewed by mud.

    Reminder that  there is no place that’s home

I chanted this like a monk hopped up on a bitter IPA. What a great cadence and the use of Oz in a most unique and creative manner. Once you go down that road, ain't no amount of clicking gonna get you back.....but we all know better right? No get those naked munchkins dressed, stop staring at Dorothy's breasts and get back to work.

I love love love this! An E.H. Monroe twisted OZ! How can I get there without hitching a ride on a twister? :)

I love the rhyme scheme here. You have turned The Wizard Of Oz into a beautiful piece of art. Reading this paints a far more vivid picture than Judy Garland or any other actor did for the movie.
