The Call of Cthulhu

Let us honor the sleeping God of Lovecraft's nightmares. More experienced poets are welcome to showcase their work but this mainly for the newbies. To the newbies, with less wins or none, this is your chance to write a winning epic so give me at least six stanzas dedicated to the elder god.

In the words of Connor MacLeod, There can be only one.

                         (Whispers in my Head; I Know What the Sleeping Gods Said)

I am the voice of the God of Madness.
Come ye all men of woe trapped in your ways of being hapless.
Your misdeeds and bad habits
give feed for my stabled night mares, and my pet maggots.

I am the one who listens to the God who doth sleep.
I am the one who must slither, the one who must creep.
I am the wolf dressed as the sheep,
and I am too the voice in your troubled mind that causes you to endlessly weep.

HIS call an echo to all whom his customs do keep.
I am the psycho in your window... I peep.
I am the shadow under the bed, and yet I am the fear keeping you under the sheet.
I am myself, yet I am HE... and we are a fleet.

I do only HIS bidding
for I need HIM the harbinger of our own intellects aperture for HIM all other thoughts I'm omitting.
Throats slitting;
innocent lives end MOST fitting.

Silence for the children!
If you wont abide it does no good to hide aside from your lost soul he's got a million
minions. Yet he can be the only true immortal HE's above your opinions
of right and wrong. HE does not even understand so HE whispers to me to tell you all about a proper villain.

so I embraced the fate this god gave, and now I'm here telling you that HE's awoke, and HE has only just begun.
HE whispers since i was young;
dead unmerciful words that I had to go mad to learn his tongue.
HE wont stop reaching out to me; yet I never wanted to know what i could have done.

We could call ourselves Cthulhu's Witnesses lol

Any one else? Let's do this

Cthulhu

born in labyrinthine
webs of gangrenous
mind dark within
the human thoughts
it awakes
with its minions

taking over, conquer
congregate
hissing mewling newborns
waiting to be heard
dripping saps
of deadly poison

Evoked by chants
from the book of the dead
Necromonicon
they whisper in awe
the old gods awake

writhing mass
of unspeakables
from within the core
of the earth
the sulphuric mass

Beware, speak not
nor whisper their names
for they hear
will not content
their mind with mere death

but drag you to deepest
hell, and enjoy your screams
and plea for mercy
they will never die
for they killed death

caverns of cloying darkness
is their domain
but call you their name
and you are doomed
heed not
The Call of Cthulhu.

*Not an entry*

thanks for kicking off, you two. Marvelous entries

Let the old god hear your praise

(experimenting with terza rima rhyme scheme that goes a,b,a b,c,b c,d,c)

elder god of gluttony and psychosis
call to us in our darkest imaginings
please if the monotony got me especially fucked up take notice

awaken dear god of eldest get to capturing
how do I get to you find a way theres got to be
until the day of another form of rapturing

people say a followers mind has gone away but not for me
I can think clearly and I just love cthulhu dearly
and I just wont be happy until hes gotten free

the worlds still too cheery
theres not enough fear
not enough eyes are yet teary

cthulhu's reign is near
cthulhu just wants to eat
cthulhu's call I hear

you will all make quite the treat
be honored you will ease the hunger of the elder god
for the elder god you are nothing but meat

Anyone else? Come on, DU newbies, Cthulhu slumbers still in the great depths

Time is almost up

Thanks so much for the mention...congratulations Austin Rura...and Raud.
