INSECTILE CREATURES
Insectile demons
From another time and place,
Hunting human prey.
Insectile fiends hunting:
Chitinous clicking sounds,
Terrify their prey.
Insect-like creatures:
Lovecraftian fantasy?
Or dire, horrid truth?
Insectile monsters
From out of time and space,
Feast on humanity.
Dark antennae raised
Seeking out human food,
Within this lonely town.
Clicking mandibles
Horrid arachnoidal faces,
Coming toward you.
Insectile fiends
Perhaps from another galaxy,
Lost in time-space.
Weaving evil webs
Like some kind of spiders,
Eating whatever sticks.
Space monsters?
Or from another dimension,
Devouring humans whole.
