Shape Poetry::But, My abode as well::

by Lonely Rider   Sep 13, 2011


....................................Build
...........................your castle high and
......................strong, lock the exquisite,
..................sandalwood door, don't let
......... ....breeze claw mahogany decor, acidic
................winds roam the moor, Noxious smoke
............embraces tight, an ethereal heaven's cry,
...........scrounges barren earth, 'Neath scorching
.......cerulean sky, When in howling shadows, glare
.........a starless night,will you repent hiding the
................moon..... ,behind materialistic plight?
.............Marauding lively meadows where will
..........you scuttle for cover? Residing in concrete
..................haven ...... breathing .....on.....your
.........................carcinogenic leftovers.
................................This .. world
.................................is not just
.................................where you
..................................dwell, but
................................my Abode as
..............................W.....E......L....L
............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think you meant, But My Abode As Well, as the title and not "Above", I dont know I could be mistaken though.

    Wow, I could feel the raging anger of that tree. I love every details in this piece, its word use, format, and the theme behind. Very well written piece, my dear.
