The Painted Harpist

K.N. Lee

The painted harpist 

Plays a tune

One of magic

One of doom

Pick a color

Sniff the perfume

Choose a powerful

Potion

Or rune

I think it's time

To dive inside

The painted harpist's

Twisted mind

She sings a song

Of melancholy 

Dooming 

Any foe

Or folly

Creeping critters

Dance a jig 

On her head

If she opens her black eyes

You

Are dead...
