The troll is under the bridge
The troll is over the river
The troll rolls grey beetles between his fingers
Till they are black
The troll reaches up from under
The troll drags those down lower
The troll would roll their heads
between fingers stained black
No one crosses the bridge
No one wants to cross the troll
In time the troll dies alone and forgotten
and it is then that the beetles come back
to dine.
STRANGE SPANNERS being an accounting of strangeness of the warp and woof of my mind For those of you new here, think of this as 1/2 "Night Gallery" Our Motto: Nos somnium quisnam es futurus fatum quod insolitus tutus vos!
Good imagery.
ReplyDeleteAnything along this line reminds me of Raymond Feist's Faery Tale
When someone says troll, I instantly think of someone posting stupid messages on forums on the internet ( :
ReplyDeleteI think your troll definition is more the supernatural creature, right?
I think the word has several meanings (freedictionary )
I did mean the more classic troll, but then I can believe both types live under bridges crushing beetles between their fingers.
