Strange Attractors

“Strange are the ways of the heart”

This is the plot the studio intends
an evil villain who’s a killer clown
striking fear and mayhem all over town
I wonder how this horror movie ends

no way that clown and beauty queen are friends
not as hot as she looks in that evening gown
maybe he’ll push her in that lake n’let her drown
perhaps this is the plot the studio intends

bet he’s gonna kill her in front of her friends
perhaps he will beat her with her pageant crown
or stab her with her scepter when she turns ‘round
I so wanna know how this horror movie ends

ohhellno — RomCom’s not the plot the studio intends
please no — all this lovey-doven’s bringing me down
this can’t be how this movie ends — oh horrors!

  1. That’s a whole story in fifteen lines, Rob! As you know, I’m not keen on clowns, and a killer clown is even more terrifying. I love the way you hook the reader with ‘I wonder how this horror movie ends’.

  2. Well who knows how the movie ends but, to be honest I find clowns creepy. I guess you either like them or not. Horror movies and I don’t get along as they cause bad dreams for me.

    Happy Dreams my friend

    1. Actually True, I don’t like clowns or horror movies either. That was the writer in me playing with an idea — a different perspective on the beauty and the beast concept… 🙂

      1. Ah ha well the writer is allowed creative expression. I recently saw the preview for the new Joker movie and I thought about your poem. Strange how some poems find a way of staying with the reader.

  3. Rob did you know there is a new Joker movie out? Joaquin Phoenix as joker and Lady Gaga as his demented lady love. I think it’s just as likely she will take him out as he her. If you based your poem on their movie, I’m no more happy about that mashup than you.
