Poetry Day: Serum

Yahoo Image Search

(This is about a character I dreamt up long ago.  Haven’t figured out how to use him, but I have noticed other characters have been made with his blood powers since I first thought him up in 2000.  At least, I’ve become aware of them.  Still, I might find a way to get him in there at some point.)

A disturbing thought
Who slipped into a lucid dream
And remained
In my waking world
Now I gave him name

 

A youthful being
Normal upon first sight
Brown of hair and eye
He hides a lethal trick
Unleashed whenever cut

 

He is a secret monster
Born of mankind’s wars
For beneath the skin
Only blood exists
Churning for release

 

A simple cut
And his blood will spew
Hardening in air
And gaining razor’s edge
Or coating him in armor

 

Through many forms
I gave him life
This blood worker of my mind
Is he my greatest hero
Or my greatest villain

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.

    It will be interesting to see where you put him and others in this world. Would this be a new series?

  2. This would be a frightening character for sure.

  3. I can see that being very cinematic. Will the blood return after Serum shapes it, or does he need to rest between uses?
