like a thousand hungry worms.A sudden leap from what was looking like a metaphysical start. You are being led by your Muse and she leaves a trail of discarded old near-cliches which yiu are greedily picking up and trying to use. The "thousand worm" death is much used....often by me!Smile

Edit: Made some slight edits from Leanne's comments

From Leanne's surrealist exercise here: Thread
Now I know a thing or two about surrealism....OK, the marijuana and Dali kind, but when it comes to poetic interpretation of the oftimes uninterpretable it is important that you make clear what you are CLEAR about. Imagery cannot be left entirely to the reader without simply dispensing with the poet. I was not left whimsically in thought reading this but was acutely aware that it was "formula" verse. I can speak freely on this because most of my efforts in this genre were GREAT when written but by just after breakfast were binned. Please remember that I am commenting on JUST this piece and NOT on your efforts, todd. The subject is difficult to handle.....E A.Poe struggled with it all his life and nly managed a couple of convincingly readable works in this genre. LIGEIA comes to mind.
But see, amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It rithes!-It writhes!-with mortal pangs
The mimes become its food,
And the seraphs sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbued.
