Ruik Caldorn Poems

I am a blade of no ill repute, I'll never slice you, upwards I shoot,

Tall and thin though I am, I'm no animal nor am I a man,
...

Unblinking eyes always watching, always searching, never seeing,

Stoic man of straw guards the crops, never jumps and never hops,
...

I am only a rock, a stone of no worth,

I come from below, from the Earth I was birthed,
...

Always watching, never seeing,

Never living, always being,
...

I'm different from all the rest,

Those out of my malefic reach must be blessed,
...
