Clickity, Stickity, Smack
The corpse fell down the crack…
Between the dragons toes

Once it had been a man
Who tried to steal the dragons treasure
Until a young princess defended the sulfurous hoarder
By thrusting the knights sword through his teeth

Clickity, Stickity, Smack
The corpse fell down the crack…
Between the caverns stones

Forgotten by a kingdom
With no need for corrupted lords
Stripped of his titles the knight went without honor
Deciding upon a plan to marry away and gain back his high standing

Clickity, Stickity, Smack
The corpse fell down the crack…
Between land and light

Down the fallen knight fell
Through pain of death and soil
Till he came upon a shadowed country
Much covered by fiery blooms

Clickity, Stickity, Smack
The corpse fell down the crack…
From earth into hell

Now the knight resides
With sinners who share his wyrd
Boiling away in hot armor wondering why
He ever did bother

Clickity-

To try and steal,

Stickity-

The dragons treasured,

Smack-

Daughter.
*shrugs* Purely to be silly, and find something to do with the word set "Clickity, Stickity, Smack- The corpse fell down the crack..."

I like the idea, but the rhythm was a bit off. I would recommend lengthening the stanzas after the "Clickity, Stickity, Smack" stanzas. Even though It will make the poem seem longer, it will help give a more constant beat, thus making it easier to read. Also, I would recommend finding a new word for 'crack.' Although it fits in well with the poem, having free verse in the rest of the poem makes it sound a bit off. Very nice job with the ending though.
