H P Lovecraft Poem by Darlene Walsh
H P Lovecraft
If you Love the Craft of writing
If stories keep your life exciting
If mystery and horror are your tales
With shivering spines and biting nails
Then visit the University of Miskatonic
And there you'll find the Daemonic
On its shelves is the Necronomicon
It will wrap around your mind like a python
No graveyard was safe from his intrusion
Giving the inanimate a lively illusion
To release bodies from their interment
And make them his vitalized instrument
Yog-Sothoth has been banned from our plain
Unless he is sought, then he will be your bane
And corrupt your soul to bring him forth
So he can destroy all life on Earth
Trapped forever deep beneath the sea
Hidden where only dreams could see
The Great Cthulhu awaits his release
And leave the Earth with no peace
The ruler of the Outer Gods, the evil Lord
Azathoth encircled by his flopping horde
With evil spawn of the blind idiot deity
Causing bright dreamers a great anxiety
The antiquarian in need of an alienist
Whose thoughts have a time spatial twist
Searching for rumors of forbidden lore
And finding grotesque dangers and gore
He brought horror to life for many a youth
And set the standard for fear in truth
He gave us words to let evil fly
The words in which even death may die
His grimoires an image of the law of the dead
By repeated generations have been avidly read
A whole mythos of malevolence was his creation
For many a writer of horror was an inspiration
Your poem definitely touches upon the frightening aspects of horror, it does frighten yet excite young readers with it's tales of monsters and evil. Very well envisioned within your poem. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
I have never read HP Lovecraft; through your poem I know now what he used to write about. The poem seems seems to be a heartfelt tribute to the author. Enjoyed reading Bri Edwards' comments on your poem, particularly the last one.
at first, when i read the title, i thought you had reversed P H. i thought you might be writing about your works on P H. an 'odd' name for one who wrote about evil etc maybe Evilcraft or Magiccraft would have been more appropriate. i never? heard of the guy. bri :)
Woah a thrilling poem of monster fun n imagination rendered in great diction n awesome rhyme choices. Kudos. Fun to read from u again. Thumbs up.
I also remember reading a lot of Lovecraft. Your poem is a great homage to his work. Lovecraft would approve; he'd be very proud. Such a great poem.
Hi Darlene enjoyed your poem mentioning the fears and fearful scenes being inspired from Lovercraft. But keeping my eyes and ears open, what I see being happened around the world nowadays.... that shivers my spine and I bite nails. So horrific and inhuman they are.

Truly, horror stories impress people, mostly the children and younger youth
