This poem is inspired by the movie The Night of the Hunter (1955). According to IMDB, the movie is about "a self-proclaimed preacher marries a gullible widow whose young children are reluctant to tell him where their real dad hid the $10,000 he'd stolen in a robbery." I tried to embody the film's fairy tale-like and nightmare-like quality, so I hope you like it, and it'll lead you to watch the amazing movie yourself!!! (I had to change some stuffs... So sorry!!!!)
