An Autumn Journey - Freeverse Poem
I'll admit, I was really amused with the sub-title at
kispexi2 's page when I was browsing around yesterday, and soon after, I saw this awesome pic of Sanzo with all the rose petals falling around him. Most probably, that was my motivation to write this piece. Sooo... with a bit motivation and a lot of boredom, I penned down another of my musings. I don't like the title a lot, but I simply couldn't post it without one, yeah? O_o
Here it is :
_______________________________
An Autumn Journey
Drifting in the soft breeze,
I quiver for a moment
but do not halt in my path.
Slowly but stealthily I move,
my subconscious silently aiming
for that end of the road.
A slight shiver creeps up my back
reminding me the reason of my journey,
or is it just the phlegmatic season?
Maybe just to engage myself,
I ask the ultimate question--
is this the end? Or the beginning?
I don't bother with an answer,
because the exhiliration I feel right now
is much more interesting than it all.
On my way I get going again;
I maybe just a falling leaf,
but hey, I'm falling in style.

Hahah, I tried to do it the Haiku/Senryuu way, but simply couldn't stick to the 5-7-5 syllable structure. So, the final product turned out like a parody, with seemingly detached stanzas, but yeah, definitely a freeverse. xD Hope it doesn't seem too odd. -_- Btw, is it okay to use the word 'phlegmatic' for a season? And people, please point out any grammatical errors-- I know I make a lot.
For a rant now :
Can somebody please help me with LJ cuts? I just can't seem to get them!! >w< Actually, I need someone to kick my ass, and tell me to change my LJ layout and header soon enough, too. :D It's so old-ish... and it's not even black!
