Analysis of Threatening Kobold
Escaping the prose,
I hid in the verse
My mind to compose,
instead of converse
Defying description,
I sang through the notes
And placed my inscriptions,
in lyrical rote
I chose to hear music,
over reasons again
To dine with the mystics,
where forever begins
And when forcing my pen,
back to stories untold
The Muse starts to darken
—threatening Kobold
