As the prince lays dying

Haven't written any poems in such a long time. Here's one, inspired by a picture.

Here it is. Don't be too harsh please T_T

As the prince lays dying


As the prince lays dying,
The monster is unslain,
And the innocent live in fear,
The kingdom is in chaos.

As the prince lays dying,
The princess is captured,
Bounded in chains,
Unable to return to her home,
She is tainted and empty,
Her love dead.

As the prince lays dying,
His sword stained with blood,
It remains,
Frozen in time,
Purposeless,
It’s master silenced.

As the prince lays dying,
Evil rains supreme,
Everything is covered in darkness,
Hope stolen,
Happiness vanished,
Love destroyed,
The fairy tale is over.

not a very unexpected twist in a tale
may be even cliche'...

but hey,sometimes #BF0000 ">Royal Red, looks good on the walls
so kudos for that.

man is more of a monster than beast will ever be.
perhaps beauty and beast will get along better.

this poem is simple and there are some mistakes but what I say really is about changing your idea of what a poem is...

roses are overrated, become a wall-flower that overlooks the garden.
or atleast become a jungle orchid.

I really loved that poem because you never hear anything like that and it seemed really unique to me. It was great how you kept repeating, As the prince lays dying, and then describe how the sword's master was dead, and princess was still captured. I would advise you to keep writing! It was awesome!


Really? I am glad you liked it so much ^_^ I haven't been able to write any good poetry for a while, and well I guess this brakes the chain of bad poems.

For in everything it is no easy task to find the middle ... anyone can get angry—that is easy—or give or spend money; but to do this to the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way, that is not for everyone, nor is it easy; wherefore goodness is both rare and laudable and noble.
