1)
I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
Before the glory of our realm had begun to slide
The heads of many vanquished foes adorned the walls
Amid the occasional scaly dragon-hide 2)
I dreamt that tentacled knights hastened at my command
And gargoyles, on bended knee
Pledged dark magics no human could withstand
Would be hurled for me— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 15, 2020

And all I had to do to gain this crown
Was become more monstrous than these vassals grim
And in loathsome rituals with them go down
Mating with monsters until my sense grew dim 4)
And then in a looking-glass my new self I beheld
And to that shape put all-too-familiar name
A guilded merchant with sneering nose upheld
Smirked back at me from beyond the gilded frame— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) January 15, 2020
