Sell My Soul?

for clear autumn skies
and echo'd replies
cerulean lakes
and the stars midnight rise

a jourey's first flight
skulking through night
worlds old and lost
hold beauty despite

an ominous reign
through the hooden insane
and the glimmer of hope
from which they are slain

wind through my hair
and the beauty held there
the calmness, the strength
and loss of despair


...i'll do it



Author notes

hey... i geuss in this poem my title would be like the first line.... so i would sell my soul for stuff like that... because at the end i agreed... i don't expect this one to win, i mean i wouldn't give it a trophy... not even a pizza... maybe a pizza trophy

anyways i chose this title because... well number one it struck out at me... vicously demanding that i use it in my poem, or else i would have an utimely demise with a paper shredder and a cactus. and number two... i guess it's kindah true... there's lots of things i'd rather be doing than sitting on my ass in front of the computer pretending to have a life... but the interesting things dont happen in THIS world.

    The Intreag

    I found your poem very intreaging. I acually just got back from a cruise to the Mexican Riviera, and your words in your poem reminded me a lot of my experiance there. To stand on a balcony of a fast moving ship, with nothing but waves and water surrounding you, especially in the dark of night, there is nothing quite like it. And your lines,
    "a jourey's first flight
    skulking through night
    worlds old and lost
    hold beauty despite"
    sum it up perfectly. Exploring now-a-days seems out of reach. But if you ever get a chance to go on a cruise, it's a great way to just experiance a different kind of world.

    I think this is very pretty nik. much better than my own entry. you describe the beauty in nature that so many of us neglect to see, and how you would give everything for it.

    I love this, I love the flow, I love the picture it puts into my head although it seems a tad depressing at points. Other than that, I think it deserves a GOLD [hint hint to the host]. GOOD LUCK!

    Wow...this is a sensational piece! I love this one! As for it not being worth a trophy, I'LL be the judge of that. I can relate to what you're saying, it's a familiar feeling. But hey, in this world interesting things CAN happen, you just have to believe they will. Like miracles you know? Anyway, great job. Thank you so much for entering.
