that inspired a fictional character

tombs, shadows, and spearheads
jutting from the soft earth
slick mud
covering the ground in thick clumps
-- a grey fog rolling
like the easy waves of the low tide

from this he came
with a gait like a cripple
height beyond a normal man's
but aside from visible bone
there was no other likeness

his sword, a blade blacker than night
just one arcing blow
from inhuman heights
provedd he had no regard for human life

he turned his attention to me as his victim's body
plopped into a puddle at his feet

not my usual style of expression, though it did spark something biggger... so: blah blah blah!

Unsheath my sabre
So that I may lance your
Jelly donut, smells, don't it?
Like fish, I wish, for you to
Lick sugar from the blade.

'Tis poetry! Brilliant!
