[poem] Our Father's Land A Battlefield
Another one. :'\ 7-9 with alternating rhyming format.
I'm obviously making up my own patterns and poetic formats.
Also, I've noticed that lately, I'm more inclined towards writing poetry than prose, and this worries me greatly.
Our Father's Land A Battlefield
Never once had I looked back
The bloodshed and the empty glory
“Too naive,” you used to mock-
You never listened to my story.
No more I can understand,
Severed already our sacred bond.
Walking across this desert
Even the sand speaks of solitude;
What happens now to the dirt,
Its heroic dreams no more pursued.
No more could you understand,
The red thread now a broken strand.
