Dungeon Horrible Poem by Gracie Hemstreet

Dungeon Horrible

Fallen angel
Cast down from
A firmament wonderful
Down down
Into the depths
Of a dungeon horrible
He casts around
With wary eye
Beholds darkness and unholy fire
His fellow angels
Stand beside
Bestowing no comfort of any kind
But then in malevolent minds did seem
This might not be such a terrible thing
And with an awful smile
He looked upon
This dungeon horrible
"We are far from Heaven, " Satan cried,
"For we have entered
HELL.
