Excellent inspiration drawn from this eerie zombie pic! The cadence you foster works well with the theme of "dancing on command", including an occasional "jerk" to remind you this ain't no Michael Jackson "Thriller" ride.
I love verse five with it's gooey essence and unearthly glue - it firmly establishes the inability to escape his will.
Nicely done :-)

Thanks very much, Leineco. I am happy to know that it did as it was intended to do, provide a bit of entertainment for you.
Comment from Selina Stambi
You don't have to worry about the poetic license thingy and all, dear Dean ... I couldn't see anything!
Seriously, the font is very tiny, my friend, and I had to strain really hard and resist the temptation to give up on this wonderful grimly fascinating masterpiece. (And being after dark, I turned the volume down to zero!).
I know you had to carve out this format and it's beautifully done. It may be wise to make the lettering a wee bit larger if at all possible.... or you may have some moans coming your way ... :)
Very creatively and eye catchingly done, as always, my gory Fanstory friend! :)

Thanks so much for gutting this one out for me, Sonali, I do appreciate that. You are so limited with fonts because of the pixels that are required to utilize a photo clear enough to come through properly. If you make the font too large, you have to increase pixilation, thus losing the integrity of the picture all together. The font formatting is the most difficult part, trying to get that right balance so all is very visible.
Thanks for your great feedback, that's just the sort I need to perfect this "type" of poem...
Comment from pipersfancy
Gruesomely perfect! Our resident zombie expert, my 14-year old son, loved it! Great rhyming... I hardly noticed the rhyming at first, as it blends so perfectly. I also appreciated your end notes... one cannot have too many methods of zombie disposal at the ready should the apocalypse begin...

Ah, that's fantastic. I wondered how it would fare with the younger set. Thanks to your review, you've given me a birds-eye view that the youngsters might like it after all.
Thanks, pipe, I truly appreciate your review and enthusiasm!

Heh, well, I guess in my genre of choice, I will take the fact that I "freak you out" as the ultimate compliment, Jane (LOL).
Thanks so much for another great review!
Comment from Iese
The presentation of this poem is amazing. I am not usually into scary stuff, but once I arrived at your page I could not stop reading and nor could I stop being sucked in. I love details and this poem has that I could picture every line that I was reading.
The music oh man I was scared lol

Ah, then the poem did exactly as was intended, lese. It entertained you, number one, and scared you, too. Thanks for letting me know that, I sincerely appreciate it!
Comment from Ridley Williams
Yeah, Dean, but I bet the "Zombie King", would be a big hit in Vegas. People would gladly pay the price of admission with their soul's for the biggest "blow-out" in history, right? Another great write from the master. Well done, friend, Bill

Comment from ravenblack
I've actually seen this before...it's called " Dancing with the Stars" ( the silent film stars version). Liked your dance, particularly your Vegas reference ( of course you have to cut sigfried and Roy's tigers in on the sacrificial meat action). So what do they dance to? Michael Jackson's Thriller or Rob Zombie?

Hah. ironic you should say that, ravenblack. I initially has this poem over-laid atop a dancing , zombie image of a Michael Jackson-like zombie, but I could not get the font to work so readers could see it properly. I abandoned that idea. Here's what it looked like, in case you're interested...
Thanks again for your read & review.

Like your current version better...And Rob Zombie.
