The Ballad of Fear

Will you belt the ballad of fear with me?
Will you join me in this sparkling orgy of anguish?
Listen.
To demented choirs of terror with me.
And learn the algorithm of Vanquish.
View the vixen as she mourns with me?
Send a shiver down the phantom's spine?
Dwell on the daunting pleasures with me.
Watch the cannibal dine.
Will you belt the ballad of fear with me?

Incredible! Absolutely love it!

This poem is great! Truly one of the best poems I have ever read before. I like how it is short, yet still paints a very clear image and emotion. Fantastic!

The theme's excellent ... and so is the execution ...

The imagery is pretty vivid .. and thankfully not over-the-top ...

Although I confess .. I would have loved an expanded version because it seems ... ( and w.r.t to your other poems ) .. that this poem is nowhere close to what you can finally compile ... especially when one has read your 'Anywhere' ...

Great Stuff .. and keep up the lovely work ...
