My ode to Dexter in the form of a short poem. So impressed I was by the fifth episode of the second season “The Dark Defender” that I wanted to right something on the topic. And here it is.
Secrets I hold, secrets untold.
Secrets that protect you, let you be free.
Seeing the innocent safe,
it feels good to be me.I kill for a purpose,
following certain rules.
Harry’s Code is what I live by,
it lets me make nocturnal schedules.
The code is everything Dad taught,
it keeps me from getting caught.In the dark I do my work,
around when the devil seeks to lurk.
The murderer, the crime lord, the law bender,
they cannot elude me, for I am the dark defender.My methods inhuman, dark and brutal.
Before I chop him into a hundred bits,
his guilt even the hardened one admits.
Poly-bags of flesh are all that remain.
Yet the devil lives,
on my glass slides, as blood stain.Emotions do not bind me, fear does not hold me,
I am a serial killer, a psycho you can call me.
With false pretenses, perhaps I am a sham.
Criminals beware, the innocent don’t fret,
your always lovable Dexter I am.
Wah.. Bhandari good work.. Explained his character/constraints very well…
Keep writing
..
Thanks buddy. Glad you liked it. And I’ll try to keep the writing work coming.
Great poem my friend. This has all the sides of him in 25 lines.
Very hard to achieve, indeed.
Just a thought, how will it sound if we remove the “are” from line 15.
And if you have watched till the end of season 4 you might find you’ll need to change some parts of the poem
Sorry can’t help it.
But kudos for a great work.
Well, I have seen upto season 3. I am now quite eager to see how Dexter will change from season 4.
WOW! You really did remove the “are”.
I was just saying. but it does sound a little better.
