Possibly

[MystyrMystyry]

Casually gliding along the linoleum (the mall)
I chance upon a trinket stall (watches, baubles)
In a velvet case amongst the orbles (a silly thing)
Shining, beckoning, alone, a glass ring (with stars)
I tried it on, a perfect fit, and glitters (a strange bit)

I purchased and continued, mesmerised by it (Hello?)
What? Did it speak? Hello? I replied more mellow (Yes?)
I held it to my ear, another reply, my guess (You're alive?)
Not quite, it said loud and clear, But I strive (What the delph!)
Tell me more! Or have I gone nuts? Explain yourself! (too stern?)

Yours is a question I have often asked, but soon you'll learn (a riddle?)
I don't understand - you'll need to be more exact without diddle (Maybe)
I should have said nothing and even thrown it, for what next may be (ouch!)
My finger felt bit as the ring clenched tight, and then further avouch! (Again!)
Slowly you'll see that I'll become you and you'll become me - now in the rain (Um)

Have you a purpose? I enquired - a reason for being so nasty? Tasty! it says (Not sour!)
A plumb fit and plum flavour - I think I'll hang around and your sweetness savour (uh oh!)
What have I bought - a demonic ring possessed of hunger, for my little- **** you! (That hurts!)
Can't help it, it responds delightfully. It's what I am and who I am. Well you give me the shirts! (say I)
Shouldn't've bought me if you feel that way... What did you say!? How was I to know, you Nazi spy! (Proud)

Of that one, so I ask how - how to rid myself of this accursed bastard - this thing attached, and loud (Get off!)
Can't do that, it explains. Not until you're all gone - all scrumptious delicious yummy yums - self doff! (cheeky!)
I yank on it harder, lubricate with spit, blood, rain, but it's no use - its evil teeth clasp tighter - freaky! (Also scary!!!)
Drastic action I must take - another bite will be the last for my digit - quickly I draw my pocketknife - hairy! (But blunt!)

My teeth are sharp and so I gnaw, as I ignore the pain which is no worse than its - it'll be reattached later - it's off! ******* ****!!!

I have no idea what to make of this one! It's a real sinister little piece of dark comedy, and I like the combination of the surrealistic subject matter handled almost like dry dialogue with a lyrical edge! Very interesting.

I'm always skeptical of parenthetical poetics, but you've created a nice effect. The rhymes border on self-deprecation, which I thought added to the humor. Somehow, I am skeptical that "gnawed" digits can be reattached so easily! Fiendish and whimsical, albeit self-defeating!

Thanks - this was one of those 'flash of inspiration' efforts, where you're doing something mundane (polishing the surfaces), and suddenly the story unveils itself like magic in your mind

While I'm impressed by the prettiness of your form, I'm not sure how the shape contributes to the poem?

You have, however, reached new heights in your freaky fear-fest. I'm going to have a hard time explaining to my husband why I've stopped wearing my wedding ring...

your imagination precedes you.

Thanks every -The unusual shape was due to the unusual nature of the content - originally it wasn't a rhyme, but then I thought better of it - the parentheses were born of this about halfway through

Sometimes though, I find that the weird forms contribute a lot to the overall eeriness-ness of the poem itself - I wanted to post a picture of the ring but the macro-mode on my camera wasn't working (actualy it was, but I was just being a hamfisted clutz who couldn't be asked to re-read the manual - I hate that manual!)
