Deeper form of Solitude


Your prompt is either one of the the three, or both in separate poems. Simple enough, right?

"Whosoever is delighted in solitude, is either a wild beast or a god."
- Sir Francis Bacon,

"Nothing is good or bad, but thinking may make it so."
- William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet'

" No one holds command over me.
No man, No god, No prince
What is a claim of age for ones who are immortal?
What is a claim of power for ones who defy death?
Call your damnable hunt.
We shall see who I drag screaming to hell with me."
- Hunter S Thompson

Rules
- No chat-speak.
- Make me feel with thoughts and words, not explanations.
- By all means, use whatever form you would like to format it.
- I prefer prose due to the fact that i'm entranced by the imagery and metaphor, and trying to attain that level that some of my favorites possess, but i'll accept anything (rhyme, vignette, haiku, etc.)

 

I'll add honorable mentions soon.
