“Abaddon”
…and they will know him
by his thorn disfigured flesh
dirt caked fingernails
for he hath crawled from the Pit
to fell the faithful like wheat…
[ This tanka was 100% inspired by the photo below taken by the very talented photographer Barry Lively (though I think our interpretations of the image were quite different, haha). Please take a moment to check out his blog Spirit and Seeing; his photography is quite breathtaking. ]
Can I hire you as my publicist?
Just keep posting crazy awesome photos and I’ll do it for free. ;)
That is an awesome post ^_^ The poem and photo go wonderfully together.
Thanks! The moment I saw that picture I knew I wanted to write something for it.
