Monster City

Metropolis up high

On a monster’s flattened skull

Kept above the clouds

As the giant plods along

 

People walking slowly

As their world sways every day

No cars or buses to be found

For fear they will roll off

 

All ignore the stench of sweat

That wafts off the monster’s flesh

Over time they do not notice

As their noses have passed on

 

The city trudges on

With its buildings clothed in spikes

Long enough to pierce a hand

That may try to scratch them off

 

This city standing tall

Has no clue where it has been

As it tries to live its life

Atop the ancient titan

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
