Poetic Licence to Kill
Recent entries and comments sparked me again to sabotage my own poetry. So the challenge is to part write something poetic, but at appropriate times destroy its rhythm or rhyme. I found this challenging (it probably shows ha ha!) but it's a really good mental exercise to deliberately take yourself out of the flow!

Aeriy.

they raised their pitchforks

the crowd gathered sticks

and picked up stones

ready to break Aeriy’s bones.

voices rang loud in the air

many folks gave a hearty cheer

ready to set Aeriy ablaze

they gathered piles of hay.

they lit the sticks ‘n’ hay

that they’d placed around Aiery’s feet,

a cry was heard from the crowd

— a lad had fallen to the ground!

some folks lost their sight,

others failed to hear a thing

not even the sound of Aiery sing

loudly for the creatures to hear

out of the woods a pack of wolves

appeared before the village

they failed to escape from Aiery’s

loyal, quick & hungry army.

Aiery snapped her fingers

the fire grew stronger

it hissed, & went flying

destroying everything in the village.

the wolves howled and waited

for their Master to head back

to their own resting place

in the dark, misty woods.

#Aeriy.
