Ruik Caldorn Poems

I am a blade of no ill repute, I'll never slice you, upwards I shoot,

Tall and thin though I am, I'm no animal nor am I a man,
...

Unblinking eyes always watching, always searching, never seeing,

Stoic man of straw guards the crops, never jumps and never hops,
...

Always watching, never seeing,

Never living, always being,
...

I'm different from all the rest,

Those out of my malefic reach must be blessed,
...
