Vermilion

by Idiosyncratic   Mar 28, 2007


The wind appeared so lonely
That lovely, autumn day
The breezes whispered softly
But none hear what they say
The sky forgot it's purpose
So way leads onto way

A lightning bolt so shattered
Like a glass thrown to the ground
The thunder protested briefly
But did not make a sound
The Earth watched with contempt
As the sun turned all around

So passed the autumn night to fall
The leaves shook in the dust
The rain soon lost it's decency
And melted, as if rust
The ashen, smokeless, cloudy skies
Reached for Earth with lust

Without a peaceful tremor
The world recites it's creed
Of wonder and of brilliancy
But leaving out the greed
And as the season rained its' grief
The sky began to bleed

    I thought it was a great poem. It seemed really deep and so it was kinda hard to understand, but after reading through it a couple of times I think I get it. Good job. 5/5
