The Jiangshi Poem

More about The Jiangshi Poem

From the Far East, a creature stalks,
A Jiangshi, with deathly locks.
A corpse reanimated, by dark arts,
A creature feared, with ghostly parts.
Its limbs are stiff, its gait is strange,
A Jiangshi moves, with steps arranged.
Its arms outstretched, its body jerks,
A sight so eerie, it often lurks.
With tattered clothes, and sunken eyes,
A Jiangshi's presence, a chilling surprise.
Its hunger strong, for life's essence,
A creature cursed, in eternal penance.
It hops along, with rigid force,
A Jiangshi's curse, an ancient course.
Its visage fearsome, its aura dark,
A creature undead, with a spectral mark.
So beware the Jiangshi's haunting plight,
A creature of the night, with powers of fright.
A legend from the East, with tales so grim,
The Jiangshi's curse, a haunting hymn.
