Oh won't you stay for the show?

Come one, come all!
Stare down at us as we fall.
Oh won't you stay for the show?
We're putting on quite an act, you know.
Mascara coated eyes,
Glaring at the bleeding skies.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls,
Watch silently as the fire twirls.
Silence, then a drum role please,
Watch those crawling with disease.
Skulls, and broken skin,
The living dead, won't you join in?
Can you hear the music play?
It's twisted, like the games we play.
I'll tell you a secret, but don't shout.
Once your in, you can't get out!
HA HA HA, you're trapped inside,
There is no where that you can hide.
So shut those pretty lips,
Drink your glass of blood in small sips.
Cobwebs cover your hair,
Giggles and screams will fill the air.
The song of death; it has been sung!
But this night has only just begun..

good shit.
Comment by mischeifinvain: May 8, 2009 6:37 am
for some reason this poem makes me think of victorean age vampires. i like how it starts off in a "showbiz" kind of way and ends with the promise of death to the audience. kinda like a really fun story that you suddenly turn into a spooky tale at the end. keep writing this site needs good poets like you.

Comment by Shadow17: May 9, 2009 4:50 pm
I like how you've used imagery to portray death and his friends in particular to current society. I also liked how it seemed almost like a circus act of sorts, mesmerizing and also filled with scary clowns.
Comment by xHurricane: May 9, 2009 8:41 pm
As a lot of people have told you, this is a great piece. The flow was good and the storyline was chilling, So that made this poem an enjoyable read, and that last line, left me yearning for more, I like the mystery it holds. Good writings.

Write on!

Comment by XxSuicidalPrincess13xX: May 10, 2009 12:08 am
this is a very good piece of writing. features ascending intensity, gothic-style adjectives, and a subjective & distinctive style, without being a D&M (deep & meaningful). Its a fun idea to toy with, slightly twisted with a hint of sadistic, somewhat black humour. excellent work on creating something so attractive from such a simple & classic theme.
