Well, HadesRising, luv, here the blighted thing is in all its unfinished, yet torturously slow-going 'glory' :-p:


Cthulu reloaded

While in times before
We
Accepted
    Sacrifices
              Of
                Succulent
                          Flesh
Truly
Far more delectable do we find
Your
   Tender
          Human
                    Minds
Harvested sip by delicious terror-filled sip
We elder ones can indefinitely
Prolong the agony and keep
Our tables loaded
Our larders groaning
         (oh yes! That pun's intended)
We so enjoy your cries of woe
                      And knowing we're stocked up as well
            Those times when you so inconvenienced us by dying in droves
Not by our design: bubonic plague,   for instance and any other pesky maladies not of our choosing
          Were so displeasing
But one thing you've always done so well is breed, breed, breed
We DO like that feature about you
So
  Breed
          Some
                 More
                       Young
                               Minds
                                      For
                                           Us
To feast upon and corrupt
This way the delicacies are never-ending
Each day abounds in new delights
We horrify
And terrify
Nightmares we sip from sleeping minds
Daylight no more ends the dreams
For we're embodied as you see
You come and worship trembling in awestruck terror at our feet (well, tentacles, Ahhh look, delicious terror sweeps 'cross your grimacing faces)
You bring sacrifices hoping to assuage the beasts (we know the names you call us) Care not. We eat.  
The joke's on you; there is no satiation; we ever hunger...

Thank you very much, luv. I honestly thought the competition ended on the 31st. :-p At this point, I have no idea from whence I gleaned that notion...

However, sleep deprivation IS a thing I have some intimate acquaintance with so, I probably juxtaposed another competition's deadline. Ah well, c'est la vie...

Thank you for allowing me to post it here regardless, luv. Now, to one day finish the bloody thing... :-p

Thanks for the win, Violence and Vortex had great works, as did everyone else.  I want to say I found this competition enjoyable, but I'd be a liar.  Because just before it closed, and after reading everyone else's work, I had one "Hell'uva nightmare.  "Coincidentally, wouldn't Violence and Vortex, be great handles for a professional wrestling tag team; seriously?"

Thank you, snugglebuck, luv! :-* This is a high compliment, indeed, from one with such expertise as you display with cadence and rhyme scheme.
