Analysis of THE PAINTER



Hippogryphs, vampires
Werewolf, zombies, and ghouls,
The Painter brings to Life.

The Painter painting
A lullaby of despair,
No hope remaining.

The Painter paints
A portrait that brings madness,
To anyone who sees it.

Horror tales come alive
On the Painter's canvass,
Terrorising the Earth.

The Painter hopes to
Drive humanity crazy,
With his evil artwork.

Fabled monsters risen
From the Painter's evil works,
Mythic creatures real.

Evil pictures hang
Upon the Painter's walls,
Loosing sundry terrors.

THE END
