I made a poem today for my Academy English class... We're in a poetry contest, thanks to my teacher making the entering "mandatory volunteering". I gave it to her, and it blew her away. I came back and asked if there was any way I could improve it, and she said she didn't think so. Here it is:
Graveyard
by: Psychotic Penguin (not real name. No one steal this, please. Uh.... COPYWRITE! Yeah! This belongs to me! No one take it *confident*)
I couldn't help as I stared a tthe ruby violets and blood roses
Towering over what is now a memory as the center of sorrow lies below
The metal and physical ground of ages freshly overturned,
exposing the naked, fresh soil to be trampled, just as I.
A long row of stone markers enclose this ground as sacred
All the while dripping with morbid beauty for the broken hearted.
A sob falls nearly on deaf ear from a young maiden of purity, now tarnished,
falling at the foot of a silent stone.
I smile. I am not alone.
For once, my inner-most mind has been wordlessly shared to an
understanding, suffering individual, just as I.
I leave the sanctity of of the cold burial tomb. Passing the people of generations past, all gone, none forgotten.
My shadow falls upon the young miss in an absract fashion She looks up. She smiles. And we both understand.
We understand to leave the departed at peace. Understand we both still have eyes that bleed tears, and still have hearts that cry blood.
We greet, we engage in friendly conversation, recalling the passing of what used to be a love or a dear.
We say farewell, and agree to meet here once more with humble acceptance
underneath the ruby violets, blood roses, with the seeds of reincarnation at our feet.
