Quatrain of Puck - 230 - Yorktown Disciple

Quatrain of Puck

Demon, mischievous brownie like fairy.
From medieval English folklore.

Sparring with wandering discernment,
the Demon disrupts the
lives of benign
velitation,

Tiny creatures, dripping blood, hide
amid the conscience
of puritanical
leaders.

Fear grips the questions, sorrow slips
into the answers,
causing sinful
temptation.

And twisting braids of hair-brained
judgments leave us crying
next to bedlamite
bleeders.
