Hello Fiends,
Here is another excerpt from a little book of death poems I am working on called ‘101 Ways To Die, Accidents, Murders, And Other Techniques To Lose A Life.’ Most of the deaths in the song ‘A Gorey Demise’ from my band ‘Creature Feature’ are based off poems I was writing at the time. This one was the basis for “S is for Steve who was shot with a bow.” Poor little unfortunate Stevie.
No more school
Summer is finally here
Now it’s off to boys camp
After a long boring year
With your bags all packed
Leave the parents behind
No homework, no chores
It’s time to unwind
Hike through the trails
Swim in the lakes
Awaken every morning
To the smell of hot cakes
While waiting in line
At the archery range
You spot a lizard
And a chase is engaged
Into the dry brush
You quickly follow
Suddenly a camper
Releases his longbow
Far from the bull’s-eye
He’ll soon feel remorse
You’ve been stuck in the head
By an arrow off course
Thanks for reading,
~Curtis Rx
