POEMS - BEOWULF

[birkinstock]

These are my unrefined PoV (point of view) poems for beowulf. i have a series for grendel and one long for beowulf in an epic-ish form. ill post the grendel series-- here goes :)

Grendel
I. Supposition
Drink your drink and run your pride,
Think your thoughts and with god confide,
Call me evil and cast me aside,
I cannot run and I will not hide.

Think your thoughts and with god confide
Your fears and willingness not to die.
I cannot run and I will not hide,
In your fears i do reside.

Your fears and willingness not to die
Show you your death through selfish pride.
In your fears i do reside;
A homeless man, or a demonic sprite.

Show you your death through selfish pride:
That I am not Cain,
A homeless man, or a selfish sprite.
I am able.

II. Action
I wake up tearing,
Gnawing at a screaming man
Obviously intoxicated.
I see his screaming mouth
And hear not his plea;
In his dream i had no ears.

III. Retreat
i.
Returning to life
The claws and fangs far removed,
I have become death.

ii.
Fate presented me
A demon among living
I have played the role

iii.
I have become death
Unwilling to face conscious
I will play the role.
