Hip Nos (Lyric) by kthulah
i've hung the bells in my hair and taped the nails to my chin i walk the streets in the dead of night fighting the dreamer within my eyes would close on their own must i now glue back my lids party animal come to save me from sleep sanity forbids it's in there it's waiting for me twisting staircases behind the wall to my destruction i see chaos in ascendancy my face reflects in the snow the hands of youth gnarl to fists each day the lines run ever deeper my hair turns white as the mists take me out to the club dance with me 'til i'm falling use my body for anything just keep my chaos from crawling it's in me it's in you in them it's the sharp in shards of a gem snapping our reality's stem have to fight my R E M have to fight this finding him restful sleep a mem'ry grim don't forget to say your prayers better cleaner cuts than tears

Up the ladder: Battlefield, Girl.
Down the ladder: the rose

More people need to write poetry about tentacled elder gods. I know it's been done, but for fuck's sake what beats tentacles? Not that I'm a tentacle anime freak or anything.

Thank you all for your comments. They are much appreciated. If you really love me, you might consider making a submission to shoggoth.net. We need more poets. H.P. Lovecraft penned some good lines in his day.

The Necronomicon is for Metallica fans. Try the Lesser Key of Solomon (Goetia) By Mr. Crowley (He ripped it off from Mathers) for better results at bringing to life Mr. Lovecraft's work.

There are actually a couple of good lines in here - a couple. Try to find them and start over. It is like a word puzzle - find the good lines in your own poem.

It's not written for toddlers who've got a basic command of English, but have never read anything in their lives that didn't have illustrations. That seems to be what most "critics" are looking for in poetry. They can just look elsewhere, and save the rudeness for toddlers who will be impressed by it. Clue: Rudeness doesn't make you a better critic. A sound critique does.
