Word Wars



There is no rhyme or reason
Form is flawed and grammar treason

Sonnets crumble
Stanzas tumble
As the words fall to the page
Fighting in each others rage

A war for placement and position
Where "mystery" would battle "kitten"

Lines are not to be considered
As 'cross the virgin field they skitter
Some will rise to written glory
Others fall for later stories

Locked inside a vault of red
Kept within a maelstrom head

Peeping out from calm green eyes
Wishing they could have the prize
Waiting for the sweetest sin
The chance to fall and fight again

Well, for starters, it's the words doing battle, not the actual things. The whole theme of the poem is a war of words, not of concepts or creatures.

*pokes you so you'll go back and study the poem*

I tried to give the visual of what I think is going on in me head when I write. Words scooting around in there and sorting themselves out. Besides, those tow words just fit...

So :P

I missed you, by the way.

I think Joe suffers from a lack of cake.

We all need some cake.

All you need is cake.

You make an interesting point there Joe...I'll bake you a cake if you'll do the dishes afterwards. How's that? Labbie, would you like to watch?

Anyone care to place their bets on when our dear Amanda will surprise us with a new post? $10 to buy in...oh, so then I guess you're out Joe. Well, if you'll also take out the garbage I'll spot you the $10.
