Well I suppose I have to post something on here. But all I have at the moment is this. So here it is. Hopefully it's not too awful.
A Recoil Reaction
Phantoms weep
When a poet is no more
Suns will drown in endless sleep
When a poet is no more
Dusk will fall and twilight rise
Ravens talk and cruelty cries
When a poet is no more
Silence roars
When a poet is no more
Oceans flee from sandy shores
When a poet is no more
Forests quake and mountains shake
Deserts tremble, giants wake
When a poet is no more
Stars will sprawl
When a poet is no more
Diamonds break and empires fall
When a poet is no more
Wars will cease and so will peace
Death will run and life will crease
When a poet is no more
Bravery quails
When a poet is no more
Sadness grows and hate will fail
When a poet is no more
Children play and flowers droop
Joy goes on whilst pride must stoop
When a poet is no more
Words will falter
When a poet is no more
Thought will end and memory halter
When a poet is no more
Sight is blind and shadows scream
Touch is numb and stones will dream
When a poet is no more
Rivers run
When a poet is no more
Storms decay and rainbows shun
When a poet is no more
Envy glitters, wrath will wail
Light will pass and dark prevail
When a poet is no more
Hope is lost
When a poet is no more
Mirth is cheap yet friendship costs
When a poet is no more
Time will twist and truth will see
The end of all eternity
When a poet is no more
Not remotely awful, silly Octa. Some lovely, lovely images in here. Was this the... rhyme scheme? Poem format? What is the phrase? you were trying the other day and found so frustrating? Cause I think you nailed it.
ReplyDeleteThe phrase is indeed rhyme scheme.
ReplyDeleteAnd no this isn't it. I chose this one instead because the other one was too hard.
It isn't awful? I've been plagued with self doubt recently. And I know what that means.
It means the Grey Months are approaching! And that doesn't make me happy at all.
*scratches head* What gray months? Summer? Do you have seasonal depression?
ReplyDeleteAwful?? Are you kidding? That was magnificent! Marvelous job, Octa! :D

Bravo, oh brilliant purple one!
