a trickle of terror, a bathing of blood,
the sadist succumbing, sacrificed for the flooding,
psyche polluted, his dagger is dipped
in the moans of the martyrs, the chill of the crypt.
pauper to peace, master of mayhem;
the righteous and reapers will chase the condemned
while shadows surround him, enslaved and eclipsed.
i could not resist. granted, my poetic muse has become atrophied, due in part to my self-imposed literary deadlines, but what better cure is there for atrophy than exercise? ^^;

this is the first form in the december forms challenge: the alliterisen. if you wish to know more about it, read this guide: [link] and keep an eye on this group:
:iconprojectdfc:

extremely difficult form, but i have always enjoyed a challenge. ;)

I don't typically read horror or macabre, but this is chillingly atmospheric. This is probably the best alliterisen I've read so far as well. Been trying to figure out what strengths this form has, and you might have cleared something up for me.
