There was this man, who whence came-forth
Who so told us an idea that was most intriguing
That these shadows, and all their worth
Were nothing more than false believing
That our attribution
Of words to their shadows
Was nothing more than dilution
And of it, very shallow
The meaning is lost within
Rather the focus should be
On what causes the shadows wherein
One can spread his knowledge to thee
We laughed, and bid the poor bastard good-bye
For who can trust a man who's mind has gone awry?
Overall, very good Sonnet. Followed the guidelines and everything was well rhymed. good job!
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent. The best one I have read so far :)
ReplyDeleteShort, sweet, and simple. Brilliant. I love how you balanced your sentence structure in your second-to-last line with "bastard". hahaha lmao.
ReplyDeleteI really like how this was written from the other prisoners' perspectives, reflecting back on the event. Very unique. The dry humor is nice as well.
ReplyDeleteI like how this poem very much sounds like something you would say in a casual conversation. Nice job Conor. Could you comment on my poem as well?
ReplyDelete"There was this man, who whence came-forth" intro sounds like a fairy tale :) Good story
