Look I came up with new poetry yeah. This is a style called "13 ways to look at…" I decided to create one for our favorite Phantom and the joke with it is the 13 ways are 13 descriptions of his character given to him by other characters. Most of them are quotes from the movie, but some of the characters are from Susan Kay's novel "The Phantom" so I provided the answers at the end. Good luck and no peeking. The lines help break up each small section.
13 ways to look at the Phantom of the Opera
I
A loathsome gargoyle
Who burns in hell, but secretly yearns for heaven
Secretly…secretly
II
Pitiful creature of darkness
What kind of life has he known?
III
Like yellow parchment is his skin
A big black hole serves as the nose
That never grew
IV
He's here
The Phantom of the Opera
V
A frightening thing
Keeping me prisoner in my own house
VI
He's an architect and designer
He's a composer and a magician
A genius
VII
Christine once spoke of an angel
An Angel of Music
VIII
What a funny apparition
To expect a large retainer
IX
These are both signed O.G.
Who the hell is he?
Opera Ghost!
X
A powerful man
Wanting only to do his magic
And entertain young children
XI
A faithful owner
That cared for us
Keeping us safe from those unkind
XII
Like the son I never had
Always loyal as he stayed by my side
XIII
Track down this murderer
He must be found
