Analysis of HIDDEN VALLEY



Deep within a hidden valley
Malevolent beings are creeping,
Hoping soon to feast upon
Innocents they'll be reaping.

In the dark and awful night
The guileless walk the streets,
Unaware of impending doom until
They hear the sound of wing beats.

Screeching fills the noxious air
As gigantic avians are flying near,
Hoping soon to feast on humans
And sensing their morbid fear.

Flying reptiles from out of time
From when dinosaurs ruled the Earth,
Lost within the depths of history
Then unleashed after evil rebirth.

Deep within a hidden valley
Baneful terrors filling the town,
Not long after twilight falls
Burrowers tunnelling underground.

Leviathans committing chaos
As they shamble down dark alleyways,
Tearing entire buildings down
As they hunt through the night and day.

Deep within a hidden valley
Malignant nightmare beasts,
Are hoping to catch human beings
Upon whom they can surely feast.

THE END
