a tickle,
a sycophantic trickle,
down and
down and
down it goes;
it spirals onward, onward,
through a haven forest brimmed full with vines plenty -
wrapping themselves footloose in a sea of frenzy;
they squeeze, oh! how they squeeze -
it's almost comical - like candy;
a sweet reminder of the grim divine
eagerly awaiting a fate of pasty sublime - and
my oh my! how the vines do wind;
twisting and shaking as if to rid the world of it's light!
but they bear no fruit for their unfortunate mistake,
a telling of disease, famine, ubiquitous in a sea of apathy;
which deals cards laden with maids of unknown certainty;
who brandish weapons - armed to the teeth with effervescent knowledge;
that tickles
ever trickles,
downward, ever
downward, ever
onward, ever
through a haven forest brimmed full with vines plenty.

This piece is actually interesting.
I found that "a telling of disease, famine, ubiquitous in a sea of apathy" was the most effective line from all.
However, I fail to see which prompt this fits with.
