We are meat puppets

Creatures possessed by angels

Or the demonic...

We do seem to be, well said. Me I’m an angel-faced cream puff with demon filling.

No you're not. I read it back and was like, doh--I did that thing where I write something that nobody has context to truly grip.

I ate lunch over at demon deacons house one time because I was friends with his son. Demon deacon yelled at his family the entire time. The look in his eyes...eek.

Eh... with poetry in general it doesn’t matter as much if you have context. With horror haiku… separating the movie references from the non-movie references can get dicey, lol.

That sounds like a scene from a Conjuring movie, geez 😬

Don't know if it qualifies, but:

Chaos rage and wrath

Without name and binding spell

All these will be yours

Coiling concubines

Silhouette the forever

Setting sun in the

City of Demons.

Wildering roads, lined by lust-

Rous pillars of fright,

Where the possessed

Masturbate in their respite

From constant seizing.

My inner demons

How can I keep them at bay?

I just howl and bray.

Using the word ‘rebels’ makes them seem like teenage hooligans to me. I don’t know if you meant it this way, but it’s dismissive in a way that I like. It’s a different perspective and that’s always interesting🖤

Huh, interesting. I didn't think about that term connoting that. Males sense though. I was thinking more like "Fall of the Rebel Angels" kinda vein. 😀
