Horror Haiku Club Prompt
March 26 - Dis Pater
This chthonic deity was once a god of mineral wealth.
Your prompt is DIS PATER.
The Rich One, God of
All the gold and all the bones
Deep within the Earth
And since he was already underground, he became the god of the underworld, too.
Job title's changing
HR morons! I grow plants!
Now I run Hades?
In the deep earth’s hold,
A god’s eyes gleam with lost gold,
Silent and so bold.
Underworld’s riches,
Stony face hides the god’s thought,
Man’s greed, futility taught.
Bare mineral wealth,
Dis Pater's quiet domain,
Man's lust, his disdain.
Bones beneath his gaze,
A chthonic god’s quiet days,
Men toil in a daze.
In shadows, gold’s gleam,
Underworld god dreams in stone,
Mortal hearts, alone.
