Skellig

Amaan Manshoor

Amaan Manshoor's poem inspired by the famed children's story "Skellig."



Mysterious and sketchy, someone who will always be fishy, Skin as dry as a rock, body full of flies – it is gross Aspirin, brown ale and 27 and 53 – these are the things that make him Skellig

Suffers from arthritis, has cracked lips that are like broken chips Michael met him and Mina too, both of them helped him survive

He is so lonely that he laughs but never smiles Known as a creature like a bird, but is actually a powerful angel The only angel who would have stayed in an old garage Like a rotten apple.
