[stylist] New poem--Cane of Cchulhu

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Shawn,

Interesting poem. I like the metaphor you have going. Curious, what type of
poem is this? The line length changes towards end, wondering about format.

OK

I got tired of being blocked, so decided to scribble down a poem for what
it's worth.

And here it is.

Cane of Cchulhu

Surely elder gods
who dwell in deepest darkness
do not walk by sight

Cchulhu it is said
lives in utter darkness
in stygian caves or lightless voids
in realms beyond the ken of man.

And so what would this creature know of light to it as alien as is blindness
to those who see and trust in sight alone happy in their normal
suppositions.

So should Cchulhu walk our mundane ground what then could help to navigate
our ways a cane perhaps to help him on his way through the intricacies of
the lands we take for granted.

And what then of this soul,
nether living in sight or blindness
surrounded by a mighty unseen host
by Gods and monsters alien to my nature.

Then should I seek Cchulhu's cane.
So as to walk with barrowed confidence,
the ways of light and darkness
all of the worlds in which I dwell.

I do not walk by sight
for I to live in darkness
in need of guidance.
