Challenge
Poetic Licence to Kill
Recent entries and comments sparked me again to sabotage my own poetry. So the challenge is to part write something poetic, but at appropriate times destroy its rhythm or rhyme. I found this challenging (it probably shows ha ha!) but it's a really good mental exercise to deliberately take yourself out of the flow!
Ignored and Silenced
Mesmerised by nature
I walk and I see
A splendid picture,
How can she be...
"Hey! Look out, man!"
So pretty? Enduring
The malice of mankind,
An abuse, recurring,
But still, she shined...
"Are you blind or something?"
And now yet again,
A structure, being made,
She cries in pain
As green starts to fade...
"Sir, it's not safe to go out there!"
Does it seem so strange
To let ideas rearrange?
And try to make a change?
Oh, please! Make a chan-
