Ode To King

I wrote this poem as a contest entry to Stephen King. The contest was to write a poem including as many titles of his books as you could. I won first prize. The titles of the books are in caps.

Ode To King

-

CHRISTINE and

DELORES CLAIBORNE

took THE LONG WALK

down THE GREEN MILE,

in OVERDRIVE;

to THE DARK TOWER,

taking THE STAND

against CARRIE,

THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON.

Suffering from INSOMNIA,

MISERY, RAGE and DESPERATION

they entered THE WASTE LANDS,

meeting THE GUNSLINGER

and the REGULATORS doing

ROADWORK.

They secreted their

NEEDFUL THINGS;

in the BAG OF BONES,

as they met

THE RUNNING MAN,

taking THE BODY

of CUJO to

SALEM'S LOT.
