Tanith Myers (horror poem)
Posted On 08/03/2008 12:37:00 by PinkyAndrexa


TANITH MYERS
c. Sara L. Russell 3rd August '08

Over the field
into the trees
old forest yields
new mysteries
on flakes of bark
under the briars
deep in the dark
lies Tanith Myers.

One time she lay
in dappled green
in bright array;
a fallen queen.
Now bright flesh is grey
feeding the flies
as spiders play
in her hollow eyes.

One tree is tall
where she lies deep,
where insects crawl
yet she does not sleep -
the spirit within her
is chanting a spell
to strike down her killer
and send him to hell.

Thanks Ciunas!  

I guess it does read like a grim kind of fairy tale or nursery rhyme... that was not deliberate, I just sort of went where the idea took me. I have always liked the concept that people who have been murdered can come back and take revenge on the perpetrators. The news always has something about a murder, especially of children or women, and it sometimes seems that murderers can carry on with impunity......

Wonderful This reminds me strongly of some of the older,grimmer Fairytales,such as 'The Juniper Tree'.Was that deliberate?
