gore juice gorgon

bridging poems

 

She clattered through her cavern

with a cauldron made of stone,

muttering ancient recipes

in a gravel‑textured tone.

 

She plucked a moonlit mushroom,

a berry black as night,

a puff of cave‑dust shimmer

that danced in drifting light.

 

She stirred it with a serpent

(who supervised the brew),

and every coil whispered,

Add a little glister too.”

 

The mixture fizzed and sparkled,

then glowed a wicked red —

the colour meant to frighten,

not the kind that brings you dread.

 

She bottled it with flourish,

declared it with a grin:

Behold my famous potion —

the spooky juice within!”

 

No monsters were dismantled,

no heroes came to harm —

just one proud gorgon brewing

her harmless crimson charm.
