Whispers

Submitted by Clare Marie on Fri, 06/05/2009 - 16:40

Across
A moonlit glade
Went a maiden lowly
And her hair was glist'ning there
As she stepped, so
Slowly

Cry!
Cry!
Let bleed your heart
Whispered the rustling trees
Come to our feet, admit your defeat
Fall down upon your
Knees

Tears
Tears
Glide smoothly down
Drops of salted sorrow
She makes a sigh, the trees reply
Why wait until the
Morrow?

Sin
Sin
Destroys your soul
Came the breath of the wind
Why live more this life? It's too much a strife
Cold, sharp as a
Pin

Dark!
Dark!
Fear ye the dark
Little one, end it now
Listen to me, I'll let you be free
The trees sway and
Bow

Grace!
Grace!
I have the grace
She cries out to the night
Get thee away, I'll never obey
Behold this my shining
Light!

Laugh
Laugh
Go the wind's voices

Grace!
Grace!
She sings

Loathe
Loathe
Come the noises

Truth
Truth
Are my wings!

Hate...
Hate...
The trees do bend

Love!
Love!
She replies

Curse...
Curse...

Bless!
Bless!

And so, the wind
Dies

As a meager poet myself, I can see a few things worth improving but can't explain them. Good poem, though.

"Yes, I have a godfather," said Harry brightly. "He was my mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of wizarding prison and now he's on the run. He still likes to stay in touch with me, though...keep up with my news...check if I'm happy...Harry Potter to Vernon Dursley Book 3

“Oh Ronnie! I can’t believe you’re a prefect! That’s everyone in the family!” said Mrs. Weasley.
“What are Fred and I, next-door neighbors?”

i might say (its Tori now) that my sister is not homeschooled...sorry, had to throw that in there...
