Midnight Madness Part 6: "At the Crack of Dawn"

by Ronald Edwards   Sep 1, 2010


Who are these unfortunates?
What has Midnight done?
He had no art, her names not Babe,
killed by my hired gun.

I threw the carnage in the box,
placed the cover back on top.
A meat grinder is what I need
in which to finely chop.

But first I must let Midnight know
of this bloody mess.
Ill be damned to have to pay
for lack of his success.

Can I take him on his word?
He said it be done right.
A new plan needs to be conceived,
imposed without contrite.

How to contact my Midnight
to tell him of his blunder?
I thought I had the perfect man
to pilage, rape and plunder.

For now I have to poise and wait
just like a mantis prawn.
The moment will present itself
at the crack of dawn.

    Hmm... a dark poem for sure and with each new one of these "Midnight" poems things get more and more interesting. So many different things going on, almost to the point it sounds like a story. Good job and keep writing.
