Imaginos

Introduction

This is for JBaz's "Boil, boil, toil and trouble" Challenge which you can read here:

The quote if the opening song from the Blue Γ–yster Cult album "Imaginos" which I reviewed here:

I thought I would do a micro fiction, but I thought this would be perfect for a dark villanelle of destruction.

I Am The One You Warned Me Of

I Am The One You Warned Me Of

On A Path Of Self-Destruction

    I am the one you warned me of sounds like the devil telling the truth of himself. I like it. I feel a story rising from this quote.

    Iron fist in a velvet glove….this says so much. That line alone dictates the feel of this wonderful piece. Thank you for your entry

    This is most definitely a very dark poem, and it does though make you think about a few things.
