Faeling-Style Poetry by Ialie
Merit for January 2008
People expect things
A rainbow poem from me
I will not dash hopes
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
Rainbows are lovely
So boring to write about
This I will admit
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
I am cold this night
This winter left me to mourn
Spring’s passing is too swift
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
Gnomes dressed in bright red
Quick run and beg for a gift
Is it solstice time?
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
Sunshine running by
Chasing a dark starry night
Always forever
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
Snowflakes on your tongue
Briefly cold before they melt
A wet memory
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
Lilies and roses
Willows, oaks and maples
Nature’s denizens
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
Hunter feel my love
It burns hot for you purely
Perish in its flames
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
Ack! Damn cow won’t move
I bumped into it again
Anyone like beef?
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
At night owls listen
No one hears their soft descent
Wings a quiet sigh
.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:.
Bright moonlight and stag
It’s everything about us
Perhaps all we know
