Ode to a Wretched

A poem depicting the fate of a fearless wanderer mingled with mythological figures

Hither hither thou young lad there



Who darest seek my secret lair.



Ponder ponder how to escape,



Thou cannot save thy severed nape.



Thither thither thou shalt be slaught



And the calm of the altar's lamb be taught.



Quiver quiver although thou may



Thou shalt not tear thy toughened chain.



Yonder yonder thy blighted breath



Whicher shalt dwell in Hades depth.



Whimper whimper as thou do wish



Yet nought divert the Cyclop's dish.



Alas alas the deed is done,



A fable for the fearless one.

Thank you! :D I did work hard on the iambic tetra meter here, so I'm glad it brought the rhythm to the reader's ear.
