sijo - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse : Pestilence
they know me by many names
but i only want them to know fear
for the gifts my minions bring
burn like fire, multiple like locusts
what is the black plague then
when i have new terrors to unleash?

I first read "White House" and that works too! Very direct and foreboding!
🤣🤣🤣
Quite true, quite true!
"new terrors" might not be impressed with the 'old' plagues.
A fun read, makes one want to go on with it.
..
Thank you, Jim!
"New terrors" like COVID are scary too, but I find the 'old' plagues more terrifying. :)
I'd be more afraid of bubonic fever or tuberculosis than of COVID too.
The more we advance, the more the terrors do too... pathogens included.
Priscilla,
Yes, bubonic fever and TB are more fatal. :(
Rajani,
Thank you!
Perhaps because of better and easier means of transportation, the easier it is for pathogens to spread. :(
Spare and powerful, full of foreboding. Now I want to read the other three.
I've been playing with the sijo myself a bit, lately. This of yours is a great use of the form.
Thank you, Rosemary!
The sijo is, I think a very elegant form. Though short it is able to show much.
Lately I was introduced to new forms at the poem-a-day community I joined, and I have tried my hand at a couple. :)
