Krampus
Poetry Contest Description
write a poem about the Krampus. Any style, 300 word limit. Limit: 3 entries
Krampus is a beast-like creature from the folklore of Alpine countries thought to punish children during the Christmas season who had misbehaved, in contrast with Saint Nicholas,who rewards well-behaved ones with gifts. Krampus is said to capture particularly naughty children and drag them off into the black forest.
Krampus is represented as a beast-like creature, generally demonic in appearance. The creature has roots in Germanic folklore. Traditionally young men dress up as the Krampus in Austria,Romania,southern Bavaria, South Tyrol,northern Friuli,Czech Republic,Slovakia,Hungary,Slovenia and Croatia during the first week of December, particularly on the evening of 5 December (the eve of Saint Nicholas Day on many church calendars), and roam the streets frightening children with rusty chains and bells. Krampus is featured on holiday greeting cards called Krampuskarten. There are many names for Krampus, as well as many regional variations in portrayal and celebration.

Krampus is Coming
Now that Halloween is over
You thought you were safe
Foolish child
Krampus is coming
On Christmas Day
He wants naughty children
To take back to his cave
He eats most of them
Some become his slaves
The naughtier the better
Rotten is his taste
The only protection
For you is to be good
Till Christmas Day
Krampus is Coming
Now that Halloween is over
You thought you were safe
Foolish child
Krampus is coming
On Christmas Day
He wants naughty children
To take back to his cave
He eats most of them
Some become his slaves
The naughtier the better
Rotten is his taste
The only protection
For you is to be good
Till Christmas Day
BUMP… gonna go ahead and promote my shameless self again here.
Ballad of the Krampus
With Halloween out of the way
You thought you could relax
But here's a Christmas story that
Will stop you in your tracks
The fat man has an evil twin
Some dare not speak his name
Instead of bringing Christmas cheer
He likes to kill and maim
He wears a chain adorned with bells
To symbolize his ties with hell
He puts bad children in a sack
And carries them across his back
Most kids he drowns, and some he eats
A few he skins alive
You shouldn't be a spoiled brat
If you want to survive
With giant horns and cloven hooves
He's really quite a sight
You don't want him to visit you
On any silent night
He puts bad children in his sack
And carries them across his back
Rattles his chain and rings his bells
To warn you that your going to hell
You should avoid him at all costs
The Krampus is his name
And punishment for evil deeds
is his dark claim to fame
Most kids he drowns, and some he eats
A few he skins alive
You should be good 'til Christmas day
If you want to survive

He comes he will knock on your christmas door.
He will smile at you with his black rotten teeth.
He will stroke your hair with his twisted broken fingers while you sleep.
He will make cold chills run down your spin while you sleep.
He laughs as you scream and kick, trying to get out of his grasp.
He says " don't cry my dear, for now you will live with me"
He flies on black wings through a wintery night.
He looks back at your home and sees your parents grief.
He watches them cry as they curse at God for taking their baby away.
He says " oh how naughty I feel " as he licks your face with his forked tongue.
He toys with your emotions as you try to escape his cold arms.
For he is the krampus , and he comes for you this Christmas night.
He will smile at you with his black rotten teeth.
He will stroke your hair with his twisted broken fingers while you sleep.
He will make cold chills run down your spin while you sleep.
He laughs as you scream and kick, trying to get out of his grasp.
He says " don't cry my dear, for now you will live with me"
He flies on black wings through a wintery night.
He looks back at your home and sees your parents grief.
He watches them cry as they curse at God for taking their baby away.
He says " oh how naughty I feel " as he licks your face with his forked tongue.
He toys with your emotions as you try to escape his cold arms.
For he is the krampus , and he comes for you this Christmas night.
Krampus Creampies
Good children earn delectables for Christmas
Sinful little souls sell into purgatorial hands
To grope and violate their innocence
Screams infect the night
Emerging in brokenness to return limping
Trailing blood from the forest
And drooling seas of man's lies
Learn your lesson well, child
Tonight you are a painful brand of wild
Grip my member with your regret
Feel the repentance and never forget
Good children earn delectables for Christmas
Sinful little souls sell into purgatorial hands
To grope and violate their innocence
Screams infect the night
Emerging in brokenness to return limping
Trailing blood from the forest
And drooling seas of man's lies
Learn your lesson well, child
Tonight you are a painful brand of wild
Grip my member with your regret
Feel the repentance and never forget
"Not My Baby!"
Cushy lives of silk and gold
Caressed by blind adoration
Believed to do no wrong
In a state of utter madness
Behind the curtains of her mind
Her baby is a lurking demon
Rustling flowered fabric
In eerily whistling winds
Kisses to the grimy monster
That spits in her face
As if their venomous saliva
Polishes her skin
Krampus is watching
In the eyes of the world
The Chucky doll will be broken
And smashed on the floor
And she will wail "not my baby!"
Cushy lives of silk and gold
Caressed by blind adoration
Believed to do no wrong
In a state of utter madness
Behind the curtains of her mind
Her baby is a lurking demon
Rustling flowered fabric
In eerily whistling winds
Kisses to the grimy monster
That spits in her face
As if their venomous saliva
Polishes her skin
Krampus is watching
In the eyes of the world
The Chucky doll will be broken
And smashed on the floor
And she will wail "not my baby!"
To a forsaken family,
Kiss your sorry little ass goodbye for I come for you tonight.
Remember you led yourself to this foul end.
A simple sin will surely curse you this blessed night.
My days are all gone.
Pray for your silly life little girl for your in my arms tonight.
Using your soul like a toy, you scream for help to find hope all drowned.
See how a small sin has led you to your end.
Sincerely ,
Krampus
Ps... Dolls and crosses can't save your little girl
