THE CUTTER'S TRILL
a knife's too dull
to suit his taste
but razors, love,
will make good haste
on lovely flesh
as soft as down
that cuts like butter
toe to crown
he savors every
moan and scream
it's poetry in
the cutter's dreams
and he hears song
in every tear
in beggar's pleas
and victim's fear
and oh, so sad
when death comes near
he takes a toe
as souvenir
a little joy to compensate
until next time
and he can't wait
to suit his taste
but razors, love,
will make good haste
on lovely flesh
as soft as down
that cuts like butter
toe to crown
he savors every
moan and scream
it's poetry in
the cutter's dreams
and he hears song
in every tear
in beggar's pleas
and victim's fear
and oh, so sad
when death comes near
he takes a toe
as souvenir
a little joy to compensate
until next time
and he can't wait

Inspired by the "They're All Gonna Laugh At You!!!" horror poem comp. The best worst I could do.

You are welcome. I enjoyed finding a poem written in the rhyme scheme as this. I enjoyed it even though it is sad and gruesome. It makes you think. I only write AABB poems. I will enjoy readoing your work:)
