Lullaby for Zombies I

Lullaby for Zombies I
Rock ye

Sleep thee

Lay ye down

And close thine heart

Close thy mind 
so torn apart

Rock ye

Sleep thee

Dreams of death

Bring softest sighs

Rock ye

Sleep thee

Lullabyes

Rock ye

Sleep thee

The earth

will never keep ye
The sky will 

never slake thee

Rock ye

Sleep thee

Lullabye

A.J. Ponder

Yet another Zombie lullaby -
As if we can ever have enough lullabies for Zombies?  I know I certainly can't.  This one riffs on - but doesn't really follow Mary Poppin's "Stay Awake," and is actually the first one I wrote.  The others came later, fed by Brahms and the idea that every mythical creature should have its own lullabye.  Fairies I guess should be next!

(The picture is from the book "Pride Prejudice and Zombies" by Jane Austin and Seth Graeme-Smith. And in the interests of copyright fairness I should say it was alot of fun - mostly because I hated the characters and the idea that they might be turned into zombies or killed at any moment made them almost sufferable :)

A.J. Ponder's work is available through Rona Gallery, Amazon, and good Wellington bookstores...

For more Zombies, I have also written Lullaby Little Zombie, to Brahms and the short and sweet, Zombie's Lament.
