A Tattooed Eye
Flames of woes, fire that grows
Feeding on what was dear
Time froze; became fragile as a rose
A house, a home, a family disappeared
-
The first; where it all began
Adopted for a fortune vast
Forced to obey the evil man
With a strange and deadly past
-
Serpents echo within the dead
Tainted blood of a man
Venomous traitor, away he fades
Three children alone understand
-
Seas of demise, winds that rise
A boat, a haven for three (then four)
Sham of lies, anguished death cries
Evil eye escapes once more
-
Shattered glass, and then a trance
Labour on logs and wood
Spell unbroken through inordinate chance
Yet none could capture him; none ever could
-
Orphans living in the Orphan Shack
World so painful, world so sore
Pounding away on the running track
Life's a torture, life's a bore
-
Stairways of life, full of gloom
A false one passed off as true
Go down to see what is their doom
Forever in the dark hue
-
Crows echo the words of friends
Lies and secrets that hide what's real
Poems that one unwitting bird sends
Truth dawns, and clouds unfurl
-
Thrust into another life
Of white coats, liars, and a vital page
Almost severed by Fate's knife
Escaped once more from a count's rage
-
Way of life is to disguise
Hide from him while in plain sight
Quell freakish beasts' hunger cries
Survival precedes an even worse plight
-
Frozen rivers, high peaks
Last of three, he isn't dead
Unheard is that which he speaks
Follow wherever the tide of fate heads
-
Thwarted by a deadly spore
When everything's a question mark
Saved by a Horseroot lore
Enter a waiting taxi parked
-
Stolen secret "watch the skies"
Hidden in the hats they donned
Signaling flames must rise
The Hotel's Denouement
-
Where there's peace there must be strife
There's enemies and friends
Take the offered apple of life
To survive past The End

Author's Note: Okay, this is my first venture outside the maple fandom and into Series of Unfortunate Events, so try not to complain too much ... The poem's weird, and some parts sucked, but yeah. I thank wikipedia for giving me info about the books I didn't read :o.
