Sonnet Sunday's: The Black Death

-


 

 

It all started with the Mogul horde

When they were mysteriously floored

Throwing their dead right over the wall

This act would be the start of it all

All the way to Italy it came

For history is never the same

Way across Europe, it quickly spread

Thousands of people would soon be dead

Extending from the rat’s parasites

The church leaders refused to give the Last Rites

No one’s safe, not even the royals

Each of them was marked with blackened boils

Physicians at that time racked their brains

How to put an end to all the pains

Soon you will breathe your very last breath

Finally succumbing to the black death

Brought and dumped into an unmarked grave

One more soul to be the reaper’s slave

 Greetings and salutations, everyone, It’s Kirk coming to you from the hospital bed of love, and I thought, maybe it would be nice if I let everyone get to know me a little better. With me finally revealing my face, I don’t have a lot of what I like out there; you don’t know the nut behind the art. So, I figured I’d create a series of my Top Five things I like. So, without further ado, God bless you, here are a couple of my Top Five. If you would like to know more or have a request, please leave a comment. Top Five Candies: 1.       Milky Way: They were my maternal grandmother’s favorite. 2.       Black licorice: I know it’s odd, but I thoroughly enjoy it. 3.       Cadbury chocolate: I'm a huge fan of Cadbury products. Especially with almonds or caramel. 4.       M&M’s: They remind me of my paternal grandparents. Classic Plain and Peanut, mainly, but I also love other options. 5....

  Greetings and salutations,             It’s Kirk coming to you from the hospital bed of love, to wrap up my love for the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osborne. I was asked to do a top five of either Black Sabbath or Ozzy’s solo career, so I figured, why not do both? So, I’m going to do a double Top 5 as the Oz man deserves both. I know in my blog about him, I gave away my top song by him, but let’s focus more on that. And if you haven’t read the post, that’s fine, it will be news to you here. I’m not going to prolong this any further. First, we’re going Back to the Beginning , see what I did there?  LOL. Seriously, let’s start with where Ozzy did… My Top 5 Favorite Black Sabbath Songs: 5) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: I’ll be honest, the first time I heard this song wasn’t by Sabbath, it was off Anthrax’s I’m the Man EP. Now, I’m not a huge fan of Joey Belladonna, I liked John Bush better, but he did a good job with this on...

Sonnet Sundays: The House

 Sitting in the corner with my knees to my chest Young somber eyes are denied any form of rest For the visions to stop, I would tear out my eyes Tormented by images of silent cries It’s been so long since I’ve known bed’s restful state Over and over, I experience her fate Forced to bear witness each night to explicit gore The action so gruesome I utterly deplore This trip into madness, there’s no turning back Left with no way to save from the brutal attack Phantom slashes violently appear from her chest The ghostly red liquid splatters the family crest Amazed by the details this house has remembered Her transparent form being slowly dismembered In my life, I’ve not seen something this atrocious Wild animals have never been that ferocious Truly, this creature must have been morbidly sick Extinguishing her life just like the light from a wick Not exactly sure if these specters were married I am apprehensive as to where she’s buried Another night passes, I dare not try sleeping Stay i...
