Do you hear the cries of the children? Youngest I’d wager is ten. I’d wager he’s small Will he grow tall? In the walls of the Crimson Arena.
Do you hear the stories they tell? They say the child is going to hell. I’d say he’s innocent It’s a mystery, isn’t it? In the walls of the Crimson Arena.
Do you hear the jingle of gold? Adorning the belt of the boy grown old What does he do, to earn his pay? The graveyards are full by his hand, they say.
The boy has left the Crimson Arena. But the Crimson Arena will never leave him.

This one is about one of my characters, Lyrth. I play him in multiple dnd campaigns, and the Land of the Eternally Bound (Roleplay Realm).

Dream Wake up brush your teeth wash your lovely face make breakfast, two scrambled eggs drive to school in the rain sing jazzy tunes for forty-five minutes then switch half notes for tall, round vowels An hour of downtime- coffee and muffins with Rosie Old pages, dates, and immorality swirl in the next class Then freedom! Drive home for lunch (tuna and pepperjack and sourdough) More music- reaching for greatness with Day and Bartoli, classical and contemporary Back to school; hours of rehearsal, doodling, dancing, dying of boredom (side character) into the woods! a baby doll named Steven, did I memorize ALL my lines? Home, to sleep, to dance around some, pet my dogs, say goodnight, and drift off.
.... From 1-15, my day.

Hey Soulless! <3 It's really interesting seeing the variety of inspos for these poems - for instance the first poem is quite serious with an absolutely intense voice while this final poem is really light and has a more silly voice. You're doing interesting things with formatting and line-breaks too (especially in that 3rd poem) which makes the poems feel more distinctive and creative to me too - sort of giving a more distinct sense of voice to your writing. Happy poeting! <3
you should know i am a time traveler & there is no season as achingly temporary as now
