A Couple of Poems

[Shae]

Yeah, I write poetry. Nothing wonderfully amazing, or even always in the same style, but I figured I might share some. No one is forcing you to read it after all.

This first one's called death

I hate
The Battlefield

Every man killed
Was sent into the
Land of the Dead
Too Soon

So many
Of the Warriors
Were found to be only
Boys

And the
Grave Diggers have all
Too much Work
To do

And this second one is called blood

And the Blood fell
Like Rain
Slowly through the Forest Canopy

And the Scent
Wafted
Between the Trees

Despite the heavy
Woodland Mist

OHH PERRTY Lol those are real good shae short and to the point yet at the same time alot of emotion given

Thanks, really. They're something I just spewed out one day and wrote down, I have others.

This one's called A Final Toll

Each night I ring my death-knell
And hope to God I’m right
It’s a quiet little toll I send
A rolling through the night

Only I can hear it
It’s sadistic, mournful tune
Though I fancy there is an echo
Coming back from ‘cross the moon

I think God does not like it
How often it doth ring
But what reason is there left to me?
What cause for me to sing?

I s’pose I’ll find a reason
I’d better anyway
Else wise my friends will continue on
Nagging me all the day.

Thanks, well, to change the tone of the poetry in this thread, here's one I wrote for my Father for Christmas (he asked for something I did for myself so...*shrug* he liked it)

Christmas is a Time

Christmas is a time
Of giving
Of sharing
Of laughing
Of loving

Christmas is a time
Of large gifts
Of small gifts
Of handmade gifts
Of the greatest gift

Christmas is a time
Many commercialise
Many forget
Many ignore
Many reject

Christmas is a time
Of rest
Of too much turkey
Of strangely energetic small people
Of contented smiles

Christmas is a time
Of telling your family that you love them
Of hearing your family say they love you too
Of seeing relatives you haven’t for a while
Of wasting time with those closest to you

Christmas is a time
Of church
Of rejoicing
Of God
Of Christ
