Krampus

by Gypsy Blue Rose


Presentation and Poem by Gypsy Blue Rose (c) copyright 12/17/24

frightened 

naughty child 

hid under his bed

peeking out

his safe place

 anticipating a frightful fate

the kid expected its touch

of cold big hands

pulling into the dark

 

the first thing he saw,

was Krampus’ yellow eyes

sharp teeth and claws

then the scared little guy 

smelled sulfur stench

and rancid goat crap

as if something

crawled into its mouth

and died a horrible death 

Krampus

got closer

till it grabbed the child's arms

the sound of its hooves

was a creepy clip-clop

to the beat of the kid's heart

Big K grabbed him tightly 

and the last thing

the scared child saw

were piercing dead eyes,

a wide mouth,

and a coarse tongue 

he screamed

all the way to hell

hearing Krampus say

 

~ no gifts for naughty kids ~

I'm not Santa Claus

Krampus and St. Nicholas are part of Austrian folklore legend. Every year on December 6th, St. Nicholas rewards good children with presents and treats. But if the children have been naughty, they face Krampus, an evil half-man half-goat who comes around every year on December 5th to drag the bad children to hell. Some parents used to dress up as Krampus to frighten their children at their homes if they didn't behave. Nowadays, the legend of Santa Claus is a happy one. All children receive gifts and treats. Sometimes parents dress up like Santa Clausclick here if you want to read more
