I wrote this one for my English class last year.
Bella Luna
"Oh silvery orb, how dost thou hang
in the vast dome which arches now
above my crown?
Why liest thou so silently behind
the wispy, smoky clouds that slink
across the night?
Shine forth thy bright, bonny face
to light the darkened world below thy
crib of shadows!
Come out tonight and spread your glow
o’er shattered hopes and broken hearts,
bathing them with hope."
That poem is utterly wonderful. I remember that assignment from last year! In fact, I still have the poem. :) (Heck, I still have quite a lot of my poems. :D)
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
ReplyDeleteI save all of my poems. It's nice to see my development over the years.
I really wanted to use the word "sepulchre" in place of "dome" in the piece, but it really didn't work, and I couldn't find a way to fit it in without sounding TOO pompous. ah well.
