Cheating

Mikeydred's End Of 2022 Poetry Challenge - Dharrsheena Raja Segarran. Also My thirty-seventh dark poem in the series inspired by her

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 4 years ago β€’ 1 min read

This is a series of short sonnets based on suggestions by Vocal friends. I will include a suitable video as well. The original challenge piece is at the end of this poem.

The challenge is β€œgive me a subject and five words and I will try and create a sonnet”.

This is from Dharrsheena Raja Segarran:

Subject: Cheating

Words: Dentist, Petty, Chapter, Ancestor, Peel

This is also my thirty-seventh dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

The music is "The Card Cheat" by The Clash from "London Calling"

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€

You Said You Were A Qualified Dentist

The Marathon Man Bloodstains, Broken Teeth

Bleeding Mouth Your Petty Hate A Menace

The Next Chapter On Your Funeral Wreath

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

Said Your Ancestor Was Jack The Ripper

That You Would Peel The Skin From Your Victim

Think That Mutilation Makes You Hipper

That You Have A Perfect Murder System

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

You Leave A Trail Of Body Parts And Blood

But The Vengeful Police Now Have Your Scent

You Think You'll Escape, You Said That You Would

But Your Hanging'll Be A Major Event

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€

Your Body Will Dangle From A Dark Noose

Hangman Will Punish Your Lifetime Abuse

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€
