DAEMON

A cold, harsh wind blew

High above the tree~tops,

One kid’s kite flew

The creature waited

In the shadows

The kid then rested

Carefully looking around

His other pals were home

Soon, he heard a hound

What in mummification?

The kid was terrified

This was no safe haven

The creature crawled towards the kid

He tried to run, but slipped

On a honey~jar lid

The thing moved in a lightning pace

And it leaped onto the child

It was acting like it was in a race

The creature smelt the fresh blood

The child had injured his knee & leg

Slowly, the kid moved his head

The creature’s pow’rful claws

Fell onto the child’s face &

The thing picked at the kid’s eyes

It bit into the child’s neck

And enjoyed the freshness of the fluid

Withour taking any break
