Random Poems

Okay, so this isn't the poem i was talking about before, it's just something i made up a little while ago, but i kinda like it so...

It's okay if it doesn't make sense to you cuz it doesn't really make sense to me either...i was focusing more on making it rhyme than on making it make sense... and i kinda failed at both, but what the heck, i like it.

"Never Again"

"Never again," they cried and sang
In the empty fields alone
"Never again," they cried and sang
As the ash fell white as snow

Silently through the falling ash
A black-cloaked child strode
'Round his head, a scarlet sash
Was all they could see 'neath the hood

"Why?" they cried. "Oh, why so slow?"
But the child passed them by
The cloak as untouched by falling ash
As fire is by snow

They cried and called but the child marched on
Oblivious to their desperate cries
Untill, in the ash, he stumbled upon
A young girl of barely ten

Her blood was fresh, still soaking red in the ash
The sword still lodged in her chest
And in his eyes there was a strange flash
He knelt and lifted her from her ungraceful rest

They fell silent as he removed the sword
And threw it into the deepening ash
They froze as she blinked and stirred
And he helped her back to her feet

He whispered in her ear
The only things he'd say
And she nodded--it was clear
She'd heard and would obey

As she ran back to their solemn ranks
And the child walked away
They clustered around her asking,
"What did he have to say?"

"Not yet," she whispered.
"Not yet?" they asked
They looked for the child but he was gone
Faded into the falling ash.


i liked the part about fire and snow... main reason i felt like sharing it, actually... :)
