"THE ZOMBIE KING"

I sit upon my throne of corpses, my crown made of splintered bone. Dismembered bodies bow at my feet, while I feast on the flesh of the living, My castle overlooks the potters ground, as I walk in gardens of stone. My touch, like winter, my skin rotted. My army- maggots and worms. My queen is disease, her heart beats in my insect eaten hand. All are welcome to my God forsaken land . After your final breath, you shall see that my dark kingdom is death.

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Maryland, USA

Favorite Poets: I have many favorite poets but I like Poe the most.I would also feel wrong if I didn't include music to this also, for I find it to be of great inspiration.These are lyrics to a song by Monster Magnet called Ozium, it never fails to put me in the writing mood and thought I would share it, lol., " I'm up to my brain in the mire of an ancient swamp, Pteranadon smiles at me and flies up to god, Baby let me drink deep from your globes of reality, Writhe your naked ass to the mindless groove, baby give your tongue a taste and follow me up to my room, the bullgod has your head, and baby thats just fine, now it is time, we became the mighty cell, wrap those hungry jacks? to the mindless groove, they say we've got a lifetime, but we know that ain't true, I will not be denied, I will not be denied, baby, the faster you gyrate the faster we'll be there, arms up overhead, a goddess in the ancient song, work that mighty world to the mindless groove, they say weve got a life time but we know that ain't true, I will not be denied, I will not be denied, they say weve got a lifetime, but we know that ain't true, I will not be denied I will not be denied"

Nothing to fear

Just a little horror for the community, some of my other poems were a little too serious lately so I wanted to write something less serious, however gruesome it may be.I would like it if whoever reads my poetry really read it.You see you cant have good without evil, and you cant have beautiful without ugly, human nature itself is probably the ugliest thing in the world even though it also has an incredibly beautiful side too. No worries ...ZOMBIE

may i suggest these line

may i suggest these line breaks?... I sit upon my throne of corpses, my crown made of splintered bone. Dismembered bodies bow at my feet. as I feast on the flesh of the living. My castle overlooks the potters ground, and I walk in gardens of stone My touch like winter, my skin, rotted. My army- insects and worms. My queen is disease, and her heart beats in my bony hand. All are welcome to my forsaken land. After your final breath, you will see that my kingdom is death. use or lose any of my suggestions... i suggest them because i found when reading your poem, for me, it worked better with some emphasis that line breaks offered. also, although not a huge fan of conjunctions, i've added a couple of 'ands' and an 'as', as the strict sentence form read a little staccato. a very dark, morbid tale. it conjurs up some pretty gruesome imagery, as is obviously the intent. not my particular taste, but that's not important. i think what you've written is very well expressed, with some images that will have the reader feeling a tad uneasy...and that's what poetry is about... getting a reaction. strong write. cheers p

I agree

I thought the same, but I have a problem with structure. It is a problem I'm trying to work on.Thank you for your advice ...ZOMBIE

Dear Zombie

Gruesome is a great word for what you have written! As is: grisly, ghastly, horrible, horrific, horrid, shocking, dreadful, frightening, macabre, repugnant, and hideous! Did I miss any? I LOVE it! I cannot pick favorite lines from this work of art, as I love them all. Each line is sublime! Always, Cat
