That Was A Left, Right?

Soul-gatherer

Nightmare lord,

 Lead Recruiter of Evil,

Huddled behind

The wooden cross

Above the pulpit.

Demon intern,

Lousy mapmaker;

Jumbled left and right.

He’d give him Hell,

If not paralyzed

By the Light.

This is my response to Trifecta’s weekend prompt:

It’s now time for some Trifextra fun. Thirty years ago, Roald Dahl published the book Dirty Beasts, a collection of poems for children about weird and wonderful animals. The last poem, however, is called The Tummy Beast about a boy who thinks there’s someone living in his belly. Your Trifextra challenge is to write 33 words on a beast in an unusual place. No swamps or forests or caves, we really want you to take your beast out of its comfort zone.

I figured what could be more out of the comfort zone for a demon than the inside of a church?  Behind the cross no less 🙂  That demon intern had better watch out though, because if his boss gets out, I see pain and misery in his future!  (On a technical note:  the photo above is of a Catholic church.  I’m not Catholic, so I’m not certain if they have images of the cross inside.  The Baptist/non-denominational ones I’ve been to have…but I didn’t have a photo of one easily accessible.  Meaning:  I’m too lazy to retrieve my backup drive and search it!)
