Okay, the Grendel poem series (of which there are five poems) is where I made poems on Grendel, an antagonist in Beowulf (the epic), for my Honors English class and got extra credit for doing so :) so enjoy, the first one's the best one in my opinion...

For has anyone seen

the plant

of a full-grown seed of Cain?

Does he

cast tall

shadows?

White and black

and peeling,

rotting,

flesh that

feeds maggots

though he still yet walks?

Or is he

a crouching

skulking

creature,

green boogery

flesh,

hobbled over

with his evils,

two monstrous claws

to scrape

and scratch

lives from bodies?

None of us know.
