Who knows where he comes from,
and who knows where he does go?

His realm no one returns to tell.
Some call him the Night King;
many dreamt, but never tell,
all are gone before they sing.

Stretched shadows so comforting,
binding like dark snakes.
Arms ever so kindly constricting,
unknown the lives he takes.

Silenced quick, all who knew.
Dashed away, all notion.
Cleansing fire stirring the stew
of confusion in motion.

So my children
take heed and care:
when fog rolls in
he awaits to snare.

Where does he come from,
                                            where does he go?

A contest piece, it must use Slenderman... (AKA this guy: [link] )

I decided to use a sort of poem that a parent would tell a child before they went to bed.

Also, first time using the new Stash writer. It's actually less buggy than it was.

This is such a well written and cleverly put together poem :) The ending actually gave me gooseflesh as I read it, and the piece as a whole tied together beautifully. I like the tone of it - it is both dark and clever, while somehow keeping an intensity that I love in poetry. The way you have portrayed Slender Man is unique in the respect that (as a reader) I felt you almost had some semblance of pity for him. I liked the way you humanised him, you know? He was more than just a faceless terror of the night here, and I enjoyed that twist. Lovely work!

Thank you so much. I'm glad that you liked the different take I took of Slender Man, I love taking items or people portrayed totally as one idea, and sort of point out another. :)

I called attention in #devBUG because of the preview image being screwed up but they said they think it has nothing to do with sta.sh... But it does because this preview image is also nasty.

Anyway...

I really like it, it totally payed off you working on it for so long. And it rhymes! :dummy:

No, this is the Journal preview, if you can't tell. Why would they take away author tags?

Also your last sentence no sense made.
