Found Poem: Writing a found poem is kind of like making a collage with words. You take bits and pieces from an existing source and rearrange them to become poetry. The following poems consist entirely of lyrics from songs by Metallica. Lines are taken whole from their respective songs and unaltered with the exception of having been arranged together to reflect themes from the show.
Therefore, HUGE disclaimer: I own neither the words contained in these poems, nor the characters they are arranged to portray. Think of this as kind of a song-fic in a blender.
Hunter's Hymn
Look out at the darkness, and you will see.
The lie is crystal clear
As the barriers crumble at the end of the day.
Doors are slamming shut
oOoOo
Growing darkness taking dawn
All have said their prayers
On through the dead of night
Color our world blackened
oOoOo
Sleep with one eye open
While clutching to what you had thought was real
Gripping your pillow tight
On this frightening night
oOoOo
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Witch-hunt modern day
Face the thing that should not be
That dream is my reality
oOoOo
Do you fear what I fear?
It's just the beasts under your bed
Roaming the land while you sleep
Hell, hell is here
oOoOo
Moon is full, never seems to change
Chill in the air, cold as steel tonight
In the dark, see past our eyes
Do not take for granted, powers out there.
