Poetic Practice # 1

I just got this idea, and thought I'd try it here. This is a twist on the shared story idea. I'll start a poem, by writing a single stanza. The next poster then writes the second stanza, doing their best to copy style, meter, and rhythm of the previous stanza. I know that the very last stanza won't match the first one, but that's what I'm hoping for, small changes that carry throughout the whole poem. Let's try to create an epic poem!


Night pours out over the land
Wth brutal force and heavy hand
Crushing the life out of the light
A blanket of peace laden night

Darkness breathes like pain in birth
Eating at the soul of Earth
Blinding shadows hide the Sun
From frozen waters on the run

winds caress the land's fabric
lands caress back with mimic,
flowing with time like clockwork
oblivious to all inhabitant's lurk

something deep inside it tells me.
something kept in hiding melts me.
something strange is going on
coming home shouldn't feel so wrong.

Darkness breathes like pain in birth
Eating at the soul of Earth
Blinding shadows hide the Sun
From frozen waters on the run

winds caress the land's fabric
lands caress back with mimic,
flowing with time like clockwork
oblivious to all inhabitant's lurk

Something deep inside it tells me.
something kept in hiding melts me.
something strange is going on
coming home shouldn't feel so wrong.

Stopped clocks told the right time hours
Ago. A north wind devours
Unseen eyes, A bank of flowers,
The dark swims with certain powers.

Shadows creep where none should be
So I hide where none can see
It's come to be, my worst fear
My broken heart has beat me here
