The Days were a clan that mighta lived long
But Ben Day’s head got screwed on wrong
That boy craved dark Satan’s power
So he killed his family in one nasty hour
Little Michelle he strangled in the night
Then chopped up Debby: a bloody sight
Mother Patty he saved for last
Blew off her head with a shotgun blast
Baby Libby somehow survived
But to live through that ain’t much a life
—SCHOOLYARD RHYME, CIRCA 1985
A glassy calm replaced the storm surrounding their boat.
The distant thunder struck a note, white-hot and remote.
An invisible magnet seemed to steer their course.
The island pulled them in with its dreamy force.

Before he got too far, he thought he smelled a fire.
No sooner did he blink before he sensed something dire.
He heard a sound and froze, danger tickling his nose.
His ears perked up as tiny cries of capture rose.

Kat held her head high as she met the King's eye.
Her stare was bold, yet sweet, and it would not die.
Gansevort looked down into these dark, green pools.
And soon his tone softened as he bought her ruse.

Writer's Rhyme
Word by word
line by line,
I'm gonna make
this writing fine.
I'll reread
'til I know
that each sentence
says it so.
Check the grammar
and the meaning;
be the critic;
do the screening.
Dictionary's
not for show;
Helps me get
those words to flow.
Watch the diet;
hem it in.
Do not fear
to make it thin.
Simple is
a goal to praise;
Let's untie
that wordy phrase.
Every word
let's be sure
follows the last
with meaning pure.
"Won't be easy,"
so 'tis said,
but effort will
put me ahead.
Word by word
line by line,
I'm gonnna make
this writing fine,
even though
it takes some time,
I'm gonna make this writing fine;
I'm gonna make
this writing fine.
