Cold stone floor
And withered leaves
The night was brooding
O’er the wind
Flames were weary
Mist all gathering
Caught in twilight
Breaths all thin
A web of dust
Laid on stone
The spider coughed
And crawled alone
The stars were crowns
Waiting while watching
The leaves swinging
In the night whispering
Blue the new moon
And bitter his song
Sung by the gulls
Or the owls on the bough
A harp was long
Forgotten there
Before the march of doom
To hearth of dying embers bear

This is beautiful, Bernadette!
I love this! I, too,
I love this! I, too, particularly liked the spider part, and the moon part, and... The whole poem kind of made me think of fall, with whispering, whithered leaves and cold floors... It was really cool. :)
Breath Taking
Goodness! That was absolutely Breath Taking Bernadette!!!
I loved these lines a passion!
A web of dust
Laid on stone
The spider coughed
And crawled alone
and
Blue the new moon
And bitter his song
Sung by the gulls
Or the owls on the bough
A harp was long
Forgotten there
Before the march of doom
To hearth of dying embers bear

Kassady.....was right!
I loved it. Very good! I can picture everything. I love the stanza:
A web of dust
Laid on stone
The spider coughed
And crawled alone
Lovely!! All the poems on here have been fantastic of late. This one, especially! So descriptive, and haunting, and gothic! Love it! :o)
Very pretty, Bernadette :)
Very pretty, Bernadette :) The only suggestion I have is to change the very last line: "To hearth of dying embers bear." I'm not quite sure what that means :P I think my favorite verse was:
A web of dust
Laid on stone
The spider coughed
And crawled alone.
That was a really good poem. I like how your writing reminds me of Tolkien.
Ummm... whoops, this is Laura Elizabeth, not Emma. I forgot to sign out :P
