Post subject: Poetic License Posted: February 15th, 2006, 8:09 am |

This is poem I wrote several years ago. i recently discovered it in a pile of papers. It is very random, but I hope you like it.
As the sun sets in the West
like a smooth corruption of fantasy
breaking on the shores of a mans boot
as he passes through the corner of life
in a coarse, soft plague, of apple reisin
And the mountains lie wet in coral reef
stricken by an attack of, theoretical damage
pounding upon the door like the wreckage of the Pacific
dripping down a hole in the bathroom floor.
In the poem it rolls, it rolls, it rolls.
And alas, the man is left standing alone
talking with the West wind, about,
nothing imparticular, and the ways of
men and elves, and the movements in the east
of the great armies of nothing parading around
breaking everything with emptiness.
And all the while you can't take
what you like from an all borne grace
sitting high in the trees, waiting, waiting.
In the poem it rolls, it rolls, it rolls, it stops. Dead on the spot.
There it is. The seed of my madness. And it even contains a reference to LotR, from before I was obsessed with it. Hope you found it mildly entertaining.

It's incredibly beautiful, you know.
Very winding, and a stunning weave of imagery. An utter pleasure to read, especially out loud. (I reccommend it.)
Wonderfully expressive, even if random...and...very much yourself.

Thank you. I have decided that the poem may be the best way to describe my thought process.
Glad you think its good shadow. I did partially write it to be read aloud, it sounds better that way^^

Thanks for the encouragement but I think that this was a one off. Still, I may try writing something a little different.
(Has noticed and corrected a minor typo]

Thanks Jax. When the mood takes me I'll write another one.
(A typo is where you make a mistake (normally spelling) when you type something wrong. You know what it should be, you just typed the wrong thing. You go back and correct it. or if you can't correct it, you apologise for it. I hope I explained it  )
