I’ve put the Watson poem up on ff.net, and I’m wondering whether I could put Myrmecoservitor up under the Beast Wars category, as it sort of fits Inferno.
Progeny
It should have been a dark and stormy night
When the creature was brought to life
When the howling monster came screaming into the light
Under the glare of the sterile false sun
The protohuman was push-pulled from its lair
The Hippocratal mage invoked the demon
A composite of souls
Two essences twined to form
Four writhing limbs and a gaping hole
Mere flesh becomes life by transubstantiation
By sins committed in the dim evening light
Now their lives are consumed by their creation
And the hungry mouth demands tribute as they hold it
And already the burden of decades settles upon them
And yet the proud parents smile at their imprisonment
Prepare to be glomped. You are Jetstorm, the
flat-out coolest mech alive. With unmatched
aerial skills, incredible style and an affinity
for corny one-liners (and the ability to make
said one-liners sound cool), your Flyboy 'Tude
Factor is completely off the charts and headed
for the stratosphere. Humility? That's for
those who have something to be humble about.
