The Villain in the Apartment [ Tertius Paeon ]

by Everlasting   Jun 6, 2014


In the garden there's a snake in a compartment,
a compartment that is darker than a cavern.
Some allege that it resembles an apartment,
an apartment in the middle of a tavern.

It is censured to the children of the convent,
of the convent that's the owner of that garden
where the snake has been mistaken by a convict,
by a convict who makes venom off his burdens.

It is said that if the children were to wander,
were to wander near the fence of that compartment
Then the snake would make the children start to ponder,
start to ponder why a snake is in the convent.

So the nuns with animations in the classrooms,
in the classrooms where the children get their lessons,
have depicted in their minds that in the bathroom
in the bathroom at the yard that there's a demon.

So the children are afraid of their surroundings
the surroundings that accelerate their heartbeats
that they feel the need to skitter through a fountain
through a fountain that's across the dark compartment.

But the nuns did not foresee that the excitement,
the excitement of the thrill would make the children
to explore the diabolical apartment
the apartment that they claim contained a villain.

    The form looks interesting and I like the weaving of words and rhythm within it. Reading this brought an image of a scene from Harry Potter! Well done dear :)
