This One Time...

Well, I was sitting at the computer during New Year's as I waited for my friends to gather at my house for a little party, when all of a sudden....something popped into my head. It weaved and spiraled into an image, then into music, then into words. I immediately gathered my thoughts and began crafting this thing into a poem. Here it is:

And when the Nightmare comes for you,

Tell him to get a seat for two.

And when he rides the Moonlit night,

Gaze upon the wonderful sight

Of Mother Earth and Father Sky,

Making love until they die.

And know that you are still their child,

Of Forest Love and Nature's Wild.

And when you come to know the truth.

I'll take my seat...

And smile.


I'd like to note that I was also very hungry when I came up with this..

Hope you enjoy.

Time This

Very nice poem. I do fail to see the connection with food, but maybe inspiration was brought on by food?

That flows really nicely, Arkynn. Interesting that you noted hunger as a "condition" of poetic license

Time This

I love the imagery created by this peice, well done. It flows so well and is far more interesting than some of the drab poetry that comes out of my school. Very powerful
