You Call Them Fairy Tales

[heslopian]

Again, your last lines are haunting and fierce, almost cold and cynical, but in a good way. Excellent flow, some awesome metaphors (the voices as rats one was incredible; really evoked that childhood fear, at least for me), and a grim narrative which never lets up on atmosphere. Would the line "never, never the teeth" have worked better if you'd put it at the end of the first stanza? As it is it is powerful, disrupts the rhythm somewhat (IMHO).
Otherwise though great poem.
