Still there? Ok. Here’s one I wrote inspired by a Magic: The Gathering character named Slogurk, the Overslime. Whenever I play with this card I burn up all my mana just to get a big hit on one opponent, and then I find that I don’t have any resources left to take out anyone else, and I’m toast. So here’s one about the dangers of unfettered growth, and a big slimy tentacle who eats boats.
This is Phil.
Shipwreck! Mid-night, the eyeless oozing gland
Seeps surface-borne, as big as all the land
We've ceded to it. Every field we sink
Returns threefold and stains our deaths in ink.
No vessel wrought expects its holds to bear
The crush of all the bounty poisoned ere
Its launch, a cost the wrights accept
To feed the animus where once it slept.
How many acres blighted must they have
T'inflate the killer loosed on their behalf?
Before it must withdraw the brackish lawn
It killed the things it needs to carry on.
LITTLE EPIC LIVES!!!!!!!!
Has someone cast Exhume, because it looks like you're back from the graveyard! *rimshot*
