Prologue: Hangman Nursery Rhyme

This is the nursery rhyme based on this book Ghost Runner

Beware of the very thought of your own

The punishment is not very unknown

The peace that you have been in for so long
Will be taken away due to their wrong

Make sure you never break the law
or the Hangman will break you raw

But if you do ever see one

There is nowhere to run.

Author's Note

I posted a separate poem by itself in my profile. This is just the poem in the book.

Not and unknown are two adjectives that r negative....maybe u can try.....the punishment is very well known OR the punishment is known from its content ...all in all everything is awesome.....very intriguing

Very eerie nursery rhyme! it made me think immediately of every stereotype I have ever heard about the Middle Ages.

This definitely piques my interest in your story. On to the next chapter!

no problem but can't call myself a poet. I mean my real strength is the story overall, not poetry :P

[Dean Kuch®]

This was a very professional way to introduce a book, ala Stephen King. He frequently uses poetry to begin his books and stories. better yet, it was a good poem too!

[Xerclipse]

thanks D. Just to let you know your story has inspired me for this story :P but then idk if it should be used in anyway because thats powerful stuff you talked about.

I like the poem and felt it was very unique to your style of writing. I am man of few words except when comes to writing chapters and books.

[Xerclipse]

you may be a man of few words but you certainly do write alot for your chapters and books, and that's what writing books are for! I appreciate your review.
