Scattered Leaves

[ellajam]

it's in miscellaneous so i'm okay if it's pretty bad i got to thinking about just mercedes' zombie poem and thought of killing two birds with one stone (pardon the pun)

rolling waves moonless night, and a choppy ride

I stood on the shore with a boat alongside
and pondered the death of my dear darling bride
she hadn't left yet on the late rising tide
though her blood had been rinsed with formaldyhide.

The bleed from her wrists and the tubes misapplied
I felt like the doctor from Jekyll and Hyde,
in search of  a formula as yet untried;
it turned out that type O was all she supplied.

I supposed it better than nought i confide
while it was not perfect i had to decide
decant it for dinner, or cork it and ride
for dark had arisen and I was untied.

Good job, billy, I particularly liked formaldehyde misapplied. (US spellcheck prefers my spelling.)

Wow billy, interesting take on the formation of a zombie.  Thanks for sharing.
