an ottava rima in two verses
A chapter in the book Twenty for Halloween
Take Heed My Warning
by adewpearl
Do NOT approach this place with disregard,
as if your life did not on me depend. This is not YOUR dominion which I guard -- don't challenge what to death I WILL defend. From secrets held inside you have been barred; no arms of welcome have I to extend. My poisoned fangs can't wait to pierce your skin should you take one more step to enter in. I sense your scornful feelings of contempt and know you'll fail to heed what I have said. Your arrogance has told you you're exempt, and so into the jaws of hell you'll tread, another mortal slain in his attempt to prove his blood's too potent to be shed. My ruler still o'er all his secrets reigns as killing venom courses through your veins. |
