The Curse Of The Monkey's Paw!

The Curse Of The Monkey's Paw!

Go on touch it simply hold it, 
Three wishes it will grant you.
A monkey's paw from east India, 
Three wishes of foolish taboo.

You have been woefully warned, 
Clutch it and wish if you dare.
Then your three joyous wishes, 
Will become your darkest nightmare.

Believe me I so resentfully know, 
I made my wishes only a year ago.
A young man in his fearless prime, 
Of that man a blind crippled shadow.

For there's always a price to pay,
By those held in its alluring awe.
Evil not good it cruelly bestows,
The curse of the monkey's paw!

Hey SHAUN!!....you write on such interesting subject matter.....reminds me, very much, of my own personal tastes and pursuits in life.....I do a LOT of research on the paranormal, psychic, ufology, ancient cultures, and etcetera for my blog called "Metaphysics and the Movies" which I stopped contributing to in 2017 but I still have up and running.....anyway, long story short.....I just find your choices in subject matter particularly compelling......thanx for sharing this one brother!!......ALL STARS!!.....Love and Rockets!!.......T xo  : )

Tony many thanks for your great and well spotted comment sir.
And read a bit now and again about  the subjects you have on your blog.
I like to write about anything and never get tied down to one theme, a tad eclectic you might say. And I might put up tonight my Archangel Trilogy which is complete in parts 1 and 2 the third part is incomplete and as you say on the great poems I've read by you 'work in progress'.
But be warned, some of it is quite graphic and violent, especially part 2 which has an Archangel Azeal's backstory to set the stage for the final part 3, he is the crux of the entire trilogy. And he's also in The War In Heaven:
Archangel trilogy part 1. 
Thanks again Tony and I will put it up and add at the end of the part 3 your  good name.

Well  now I have my answer. I have obviously touched a monkey's paw at some time or another. That is the only explanation! 

Great poem, Shaun. I love reading your work x

Tina, many thanks again and I love to write something a bit out there from time to time and The Monkey's Paw was a book written many years ago.
And the way my luck and yours by the sounds of it is running we may as well cash in our chips now!!🤣🤣🤣❤️
Thanks again Tina and will start reading yours and other members tonight and tomorrow.
Hang in there and stay safe and warm.
