Stupid Tiny Fantasy Poems

You can’t ignore
A manticore
(Though never ask
what the spikes are for.)

_

This I ask, immaterial wraith:
if you got no flesh,
can you really be tref?

_

The Man-Scorpion is savage and mean
And when it stabs itself,
It turns beautifully green.

_

The Mind-Flayer is a constant poetic inspiration, because Mind-Flayers are powerful, admirable, and understand what the dungeon REALLY needs. This is a poem of homage in their honor, in the hopes that you will see how amazing they are, and they will take their tentacles out of my ear.

_

Those who wish to cook a Basilisk
Need good blindfolds
And a really big whisk.

_

I gave a Homonculous
My seat on that Hellbound bus;
Now don’t fuss:
There’s two of me (us).
