Literature Text
There's something moving back there in the dark,
With razor-tipped claws and teeth like a shark;
Its inhuman grunts drip like ice down my spine
And its blood-red eyes glow with an unholy shine.
Driven by blood-thirst, it hungers for me;
It snuffles my scent, and gurgles in glee.
With a blood-curdling shriek it leaps 'cross the room,
And I blow off its head with an almighty boom.
Smoke curls up slowly, like the vapours of hell,
As with a smooth action I eject the spent shell;
In goes another, with a comforting click.
As I step o'er the corpse I give it a kick.
One demon down, a thousand to go.
I'd tackle them all if I had the ammo.
Shouting my warcry I take out another:
"Eat lead and die, you great ugly mutha!"
Little or large, from imp up to Knight,
From Baron, to Caco, to great Cyber fright,
I'll blast 'em, I'll hack 'em, I'll make 'em all pay;
They killed my pet bunny -- they'll all rue the day!

This may not quite be my usual sort of poem -- if I actually have a "usual" sort of poem -- but I figured it was worth submitting anyway.
Two things prompted the writing of this. sperble posted a poem called "Eat my Doom" in [link] -- and I had just spent several hours playing a rather intense co-op game of Doom II (Final Doom: Plutonia, (on UV, of course) to be precise.) The title appealed to me -- and this was born.
Needless to say, the Space Marine himself, the Imps and Cacodemons and Hell Knights and Barons and Cyberdemons are property of id Software ( [link] ) -- I didn't invent 'em, I just kill 'em...
Edit, Jan 2004: I am currently working through my gallery and providing a " proper" preview image for those deviations that didn't originally have one. I apologise to all those watching me if this causes these old poems to be flagged as "new". The flames in this thumbnail are from Flames 05, by ~ carpium-stock.

Absolutely fantastic! Not only a great piece of literature but also had the bonus of making me feel nostalgic for the original Doom!
Shouting my warcry I take out another:
"Eat lead and die, you great ugly mother!"
I love that line. :3
