LIII → A New Song
Ms. Sutcliff?
I realized that I don't have a girl I like.
To be my muse, I mean.
But I still wrote a poem.
This is about a person I met a long time ago.
It doesn't rhyme.
But some of the poems we read this year didn't rhyme either.
I hope this will be all right, sir. Ma'am.
BRIGHT LIGHT
There was a brightness and a wideness at first and,
As they say, "Let there be light" and there was light.
I saw light, then.
I saw you, then.
And you saw me.
With light comes shadows.
Patience and force, I would come to see it better.
Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here
Buckle! And the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion
Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!
The sharp snap in punishment, of secrets revealed,
Punished for that.
Then rewarded, secrets in secret.
It was always brightness and clarity.
Like looking down into clear water.
I'd never seen clear water before.
Like looking up into a clear sky.
I'd never seen a clear sky before.
"This is the pain of the body," you said.
That was when I learned what pain was.
That was when I learned what love was.
[ooc: Katan is a student at Cutlers Grammar School and has been aged down for the curse. And Grell demanded that he write a poem about a girl he likes. ... So he wrote a poem about Rosiel. Cough cough. Also, yes, I did rip off Hopkins for a line or two. Bad poets imitate, good poets steal, all right? ;3;]
