So whilst doing my MA I wrote a portfolio of poems about classic movie monsters, but with that extra something as well. I’ll going to share some of them with you, as it’s approaching Halloween. This one is a written as a villanelle, but you’ll have to excuse the horrific formatting, I’m still working on that! Without further ado, I give you….
The Blob
I consume all, regardless,
I don’t have a mouth, I envelop.
Human or other, I couldn’t care less.
I roll on my way relentless,
I don’t know where I’m going or why.
I consume all, regardless.
I exist to grow, multiply and thrive.
I’m happy to grow and metastasise,
biological or other, I couldn’t care less,
they are all just nutrients I ingest.
They try to kill me with radiation and drugs
but I consume all regardless.
I don’t have feelings of loss or distress,
I just consume and grow bigger,
human or other I couldn’t care less.
Made small again, nothing to ingest.
Fed tiny bits, to keep me alive
human or other, I couldn’t care less,
I consume all, regardless,
