I periodically ask people on twitter who follow me to randomly submit me a word and I will craft a unique poem involving the words I am given.  Today I received 6 words that all flowed together for me to find a common theme.  Here are my results:  (All of the Twitter words provided are highlighted in blue)

Death Rides In From The Vast Ocean

The poison tide rolls in
acidic fog steals your breath
this is but one sign
of the harbinger known as death

Your fellow man will bootleg your soul
to save his own from this awful fate
So death comes forward in a tidal wave
riding on the back of skeletal hippopotamuses

His scythe in hand your vision grows dark
people scatter before him like ants
you try to run but your knees are wobbly
instead falling to the ground begging for your life

You scream for your life but no words come out
all you taste before the end of the road
is the acrid salty seaweed sliding down your throat
the tide sweeps over you and all is lost

-Poem by Dragon Blogger
