Okay because I either A) can't find an old poetry topic for metaguard created poems or B) there isn't actual one I have decided to make an off topic place for us to post our poetry and talk about it. I will start us out with a poem titled My City
My City
Oh this city
This beautiful city
Whatever could
I compare thee too?
My city
My wonderful
My beautiful
My worm eaten love
With a gun to my head
I compare thee to a corpse
Sitting in the sun as you rot
With maggots chomping you to bone
No the comparison shall now do!
A simple corpse does not
Describe your disgusting form
The insult shall not stand!
Rather you are a battlefield
More than five days old!
A feeding ground for vultures!
…and other birds I suppose.
My city
My dead
Rotting
Beautiful love!
To thee I sing
My final tune
Farewell! Farewell!
My darling love.
As the false law
Brings my end
I confess
My only regret
Was not showing
More love
To you
My city
