Written for dVerse Poets Quadrille Monday –
“Toot Toot” hosted by Lisa who invites us to
get creative with the word ‘horn’ in just 44
words. Here’s where the prompt took me.
He struts the crossroads, adorned in red,
a long twisted horn jammed into his head.
He’ll steal your name, he’ll steal your soul,
displease him once, he’ll swallow you whole.
No sympathy for what he’s done,
yet still we dance when he has won.
