How I hate to think of those eldritch beasts…
From Hades, are those frightful creatures.
Bacchanalian are their sanguine feasts,
And canine are their blasphemous features.
From unknown catacombs, they lurk and prowl,
Lying in wait for unknowing prey.
They rend the nighttime with impious howl,
Wallowing in charnel rot and decay.
In abyssal Pnoth they gibber and leap,
Beneath Peaks of Throk, so far underground.
Emerging above, to hunt those who sleep,
Unknowing that death is soon to be found.
So avoid graveyards, basements and cellars,
And you might shirk those underworld dwellers.
Based on Pickman's Model, by HP Lovecraft.

So... yeah. First attempt at a sonnet. Also first attempt at poetry.
