Wasn't sure how to catagorize this one...I call it dark humor. Purely fiction.


Poem Artwork

Demons

 

My demons got the upper hand

Again

Crafty bastards

See in the dark

Smell blood in the water

In the air

Hear a pin drop at a thousand paces

That sound of deep despair

Inaudible to mere mortals

I spoke to God about it

He chuckled

Then told me to mind my own business

I tried to explain

My time card keeps getting stuck

In the punch clock

He just rolled his eyes

And released the card

From the clock’s grip

As the floor became ooze

The air thick with the screams

Of demons

My demons

My screams

Inaudible to mere mortals

Angels playing name that tune

Got it in just three notes

God pulls out his ear buds and says

Got it in two

My kind of Halloween. Now this one, I love. You are playing with several ideas here that give me great visualizations of improbable horror.

Patrick, I don't know where your mind has been, but it's good that you take it out and shake out the cobwebs every so often. I'd hate to imagine the things that would come creeping out of there if you didn't do that every once in a while. You had me sitting up and taking notice on this one buddy.

Well done…. Thanks Dick

Mere mortal lives by the billions, probably does get a little repetitive watching humans make the same mistakes over and over and over. Nice change of pace.

I like the idea of a God with a sense of humor...perhaps a litle TOO playful with his creation, but at least He can chuckle.
