Smoke



 
     I live within the sound,
       of another gunshot round.

     I always seem to pay,
       for a game I do not play.

     And I wear my black hat,
       as a symbol of where I'm at.

     Inside the shadows of the grave,
        my soul is the desire that I pave.

     Cut out like a card,
       cheaters heart of discord.

     Music in my head,
       I walk along the lead.

     To listen to what you said,
       as I fall down dead.

    pretty good

    This actually worked very well; it really made me think, and it certainly reflects those things in life that we seem to have no control over. The idea of "walking along the lead" and tying that idea to what seems almost like emotional target practice, was really cool. You have talent. Keep honing it!

    hmmm...interesting...as I was reading this, a battle scene from like the Civil War or something came to my head...Is this what you meant this poem to be? Hmm anyways, it was interesting, but nicely written.
