In the garden ‘neath the willow
Brief reflection on the window
Once unseen and twice unheard
and thrice is scorned their childlike word Harken, our undying song
Secrets hoarded, never told
Eternal life, eternal old
Chained by pity, play in darkness
Neither moon nor sun nor laughter We sing, we sing, but not for long
Wings of lattice beat in time
to spirit music lost of rhyme
Bare their bones and beauty-torn
Eyes not blind but dark, forlorn Closed our minds, one certainty
Gently, like a feather falling
Memory of a cricket calling
Silence is the path they follow
Hills like skulls and dusty hollows The dreams of children set us free
This fate foretold and chosen well
Enigmas they would never tell
Upon the streams their image faded
Cry, they cry for what they’ve traded Set us free upon the world
May we behold our wings of pearl
Drink the glory that became us
And unto the earth reclaim us.
Very nice, I like it! I like the idea and the imagery is really good. Congrat’s on the Mod’s, well deserved! Megan 'Angler' Proverbs replies: "Thank you! *is honoured*"
that is quite beautiful. i don’t understand the darkness/laughter rhyme though...was it supposed to rhyme? again, quite beautiful... clap if you believe in fairies... Megan 'Angler' Proverbs replies: "It’s the ’ah’ sound that’s supposed to rhyme, as in dark/laugh. There’s a word for it, assonance I think...
*claps, albeit possibly too late...*"

- claps and pixie dust falls down - Megan 'Angler' Proverbs replies: "Has anyone ever wondered what pixie dust actually IS? I mean, if normal dust is bits of human skin and stuff, what’s pixie dust? Bits of pixie?? Ewww..."
Wait a sec, I could have sworn I commented on this... O_o
Oh.
Firefox must have ate my comment.
*attacks it with a halberd* ...what?
And to be honest, I have no idea what I said. Probably something along the lines of ’that is really cool’ or some such to that effect... o_O
Wait, so have they seriously quit informing people when they get mod’s choices? o_O? Megan 'Angler' Proverbs replies: "Apparently. o_O I’m a mod, and I didn’t even know I had a Mod’s Choice..."

I was cool. Megan 'Angler' Proverbs replies: "Er...? I’ll assume you meant ’It was cool’. In which case, thanks. ^^"
Gave me shivers. Dark and haunting, very nice! Wow, I’m commenting on a poem! XDD There’s a first. Must just be that good. ^___^ Megan 'Angler' Proverbs replies: "Thank you. ^^"
I like it! It was sooo cool! I love how it has the dark and haunting feeling to it. ^^ My favorite part is the second piece. Megan 'Angler' Proverbs replies: "Thanks!"
