The Beast

A darker poem about a monster

Chapter Five: The Beast

 

1.      Loosen the shackles

Enter the cage

Trace all the scars

Trigger the rage

2.     Help feed the beast

Eating on souls

Men are its meal

Carnage its goal

3.     Ask for forgiveness

Learn to tie rope

Cleverer men

Understood not to hope

4.    Leave nothing behind

After it feeds

Tell no souls of its

Evilest deeds

5.     Trap a monster

Hunt its mate

Everything stabs

Nettles will scrape

6.    Under its spell

Mesmerized fall

Broken souls

Eaten and mauled

7.     Raise up the corpses

 Slice them �" make art

Intestines ripped out

X marks the heart

8.    Slip out the organs

In fear feed the beast

X marks the heart

The lungs �" the whole feast

9.    Yell like a banshee

Scream; go insane

It feeds on you now, and

X marks your brain!

Nice use of words to create a powerful poem. Blind people will not see the bad ending. Easier for some to fall down easy than stand- up for the right things. Something to think about in the amazing poetry.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Very masterfully done, this piece speaks deeply of monsters we all face on our darkest nights and face in our nightmares. The demons that haunt us. Very well done, I enjoyed this

[Gurglesnarch van Caasi]

Thank you, Mr. Wolfe. You hit the nail on the head: this is about All nightmares, beasts, monsters, and demons, and we ALL have many that chase us and haunt us.
Have a beautiful brilig.

Very clever Acrostic. One which i wouldnt have noticed if you had not mentioned it. To rhyme well and tell a story with an Acrostic is no mean feat, well done. Great ending and darkness.
Very much enjoyed.
Thanks for sharing.

Very cleverly and masterfully crafted...flows gracefully and the boldface creates an interesting phrase. Very well penned.

[Gurglesnarch van Caasi]

Thank you kindly. The boldface phrase is taken from the book of Revelations, where it says "Let them with understanding calculate the name of the beast, for it is a number, 666"

Ooooo creepy.
