Chronicles of Bowser(Poem 8- Monster Poem-updated)

Mane of fire zooms as he stomps through his den

matching eyebrows etched in rage forever. 

Every player dives to avoid the 

razor-sharp metal daggers of his shell. 

Not only his size, but also his brute 

leave his prey in constant disarray. 

His knifing nails and horns can- 

and will- claw their limbs apart. 

Only object that makes his cold heart soften: 

the blonde bombshell of the land, Princess Peach. 

But his fair maiden belongs to Mario- 

mere mention of that name makes his eyes blaze. 

The two share a history that began close, 

before the Italian ruffian rose to fame,
kicking the beast to the curb

for his green counterpart known as Luigi.  

Bowser alone without even one brother 

in the world of Super Smash Brothers. 

Soul now as hard as his shell 

he turns to Super Smash everything in his path.

One belief ingrained in his mind 

serves as his drive for the scheme: 

'Peach must be blinded by celebrity status

to remain loyal to the villain in red.'

Princess sticks up her nose at Bowser's black magic,
teleportation and shockwaves fail to surprise her.
Fire breathing, physical prowess- all child's play.
His powers right out of a fairytale in her eyes.

Desperate to impress royalty,
Bowser signs up to rival Mario in Mario Kart.
Alas, even with his Koopa tribe and flying Spiny Shells,
Mario shoots right past him into Peach's delicate arms.

If only he had the princess in his grasp, 

would she see Bowser has what Mario lacks. 

He kidnaps poor Peach back to his lair

in hopes of becoming Beauty and the Beast. 

Who will save the princess from his clutches? 

The Italian dynamic duo- 

Mario and Luigi, of course! 

Spring into action, they begin their quest. 

Face to face with the monster himself, 

the pair battle for Peach in this epic duel. 

Bloodshed ensues, Bowser left for dead

as the power couple rides off into the sunset. 

All the characters of the land clap and cheer, 

grateful that order has been restored. 

No longer must they fear Bowser's wrath, 

now that he is defeated for good. 

Little do they know he survived the battle,  

lying in wait when they least suspect it. 

None are aware of the songs he wrote of Peach, 

Or the tears that shed from his burning eyes. 

Pretty in Pink was almost his, 

her baby blues nearly one with his own. 

All snatched away in an instant- 

and every citizen of Super Mario World will pay. 

They will be gone. 

Princess Peach will be his.
