Netherworld Truisms: Expect the Unexpected


Expect the Unexpected
 
Written for the final Red Wolf Poetry Prompt
 
A great Netherworld truism
Is Expect the Unexpected
There's plenty of insanity to go around
No character need feel neglected
 
Sometimes a flame bursts forth from an iceberg
Or a poltergeist shows his butt
Or that might be a visiting rock star un-dignitary
Huh huh huh...hey Beavis, I said Butt
 
Even here, nothing rhymes with orange or purple
Unless you count orange surple
Which has a flavor that can quite overwhelm you
If not paired with a stiff purple nurple
 
We find characters and adopt them
We create our own characters too
We invite spirits we loved in the living world
At the point when their time comes due
 
We don't do things the way others do
Which is why most people run screaming away
We Netherworld folk aren't like others
This ain't a place where the normal sorts stay
 
But if you decide to open your mind
You might like to stay a while
We'll make you see things in a different way
We might even make you smile
 
It's true that we're kind of nutty
But you won't need to be protected
We're not trying to hurt anyone, we're just having fun
In this realm of the Unexpected
 
Best wishes to you
In this year of New
 
Team Netherworld

Shadorma for the Netherworld


Netherworld
The sixth dimension
Home to its
Myriads
Of things and souls discarded
From the living world

~Aurora~

 A shadorma is composed of six non-rhyming lines (sestina or sextet) and the syllable pattern is 3-5-3-3-7-5.  It can have as many stanzas as you like, just as long as each stanza follows the syllable pattern mentioned above .
For a longer explanation of what the Netherworld is, see this post
