My Poetry Thread: Of Joy and Disconsolation...

Postby Zarn Ishtare » Wed Apr 26, 2006 3:24 pm

So this is my poetry, folks. I hope you enjoy.

Signed,

Zarn.


"The song of the StormCrow..."

This Crow Flies South

Storm is raging outside.

What is in the midst of it?

Who dares to fly?

It is the STORMCROW...

Child of Thunder, Brother to Lightning, A companion to the Winds...

See how he battles with the storm, flying straight into its heart.

How does he fly with such winds about him? How does he survive?

It is in his blood...For he must fly, Fly with his other-self, fly with the storm...

For to fly in the midst of the tempest is his Destiny.

Arashi no Tenshi, Blood of Ancient Storm, Master of black wings, Fly.

Kiss the Storm Maiden, embrace the bitter showers. Race the Clouds, touch the Stars,

And finally, Finally...Find Home.

The Song of the Stormcrow...Flight without Wings, Sight without Eyes, Tell all truth, Banish all Lies.
With your doubt, all is comfort
We are all as we appear
No more questions left unanswered
No more wonder, no more fear
Nothing is beauty, nothing's feeling
Blood where there once was a soul
So I ask you, prove yourself
Make me believe that you are whole

Ooooh very nice, Zarn. :wow!: Very mystical in its description. Rhyme scheme is a little odd but I think it works. Hrmmm...maybe I should post my stuff on this forum.

Intersting, What leagend is it based on?
Tis No Fool to lose what he can not keep to gain what he can never lose.
What does it profit a man to gain the World yet lose his soul.
Choose Life that you Might live.

You may or may not have noticed Norse overtones, but it's not really based on any legends. It is merely something I wrote. Now, as to what inspired me....

look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!â€

You really captured everything very well. I really liked the passage "Kiss the Storm Maiden, embrace the bitter showers." I felt like I was swept away with this one, seeing what the Crow was seeing. Really, really good.

I sense a deep symbalism in this, kinda like a one of C.S. Lewis's books, the bird flying threw a twisted destructive storm, trying to find its way home. is this tied in with expressing the struggles we face in life and how were constantly under fire in this world until we finnally get home? or am I just digging WAY to deep >.>;;;

...I like it, it is pretty good...the talk of the crow being related to the elements was nice.

Because, sometimes people write poetry to discuss feelings they cannot share otherwise...

And it defeats the mystery of the poem.
