Hi everyone. A slightly longer poem than usual for NaPoWriMo today. This one is about my fascination with the Kajiu genre of film, otherwise known as giant monster films. Hope you like it.
Kaiju Symphony
They rose from the sea,
from depths unfathomable,
into dreams and nightmares.
Some spawned in the wake
of a blossoming mushroom cloud,
others out of worlds isolated
and long since forgotten.
They towered above cities,
above man's greatest works,
demolishing them with greater
wrath than any hurricane.
Every projectile man could
throw at them ricocheted
off their impervious hides.
That's what a young boy saw
on his television screen,
plagued by bursts of static,
marvelling at their ferocity,
their enormity, their majesty.
Such wonders endure
far beyond the screen.
