"Be careful with whom you sup!"

Many fear them and the powers they express
always calm, cool and collected in their eccentric dress
ebony or dark clothing many Adorne
don't dare besiege any one of them
be yea forewarned
they are cognitive of things we will never know
careful not to cross their paths as you go
i am no expert on the "Hoodoo!" or "Woodoo!" faith
i only know what i hear others say
i stay my distance, very far away
it's said they can bring illness in body and mind
it's said they can make a zombie of any human, in due time
it's said they can make a person leave their spouse
it's said they can make one avoid their own house
yes, this is said and much, much more
spells, chants and potions are available in their French Quarter stores
how i know what i know is because of where i was brought up
we were warned as children to be careful who you befriend
and extra cautious with whom you sup!

      Thank you for the comment on my poem. As for the randoming of line lengths, they are not random at all. Have you not written a poem with no set number of lines that formed no set foremat?... Check all your poems. Did you see the movie "Hannibal Lector"? If you did then you know that obvious randoming is sometimes not random at all! I am a true believer that variety in the way poems and stories are written brings interest to the reader because if all are written in the same way, type, length, format, etc. it would make for very boring reading!!!!!!!! Thanks again!

    This was very extravagant. In the begining I felt like perhaps we were talking about something in our real society with an abstract perspective, but then it turned into something more. Very nice work.
