Author's note; Hi folks ! As always thanks to everyone who has taken time to read my other poems and better still for reviewing. This poem may be slightly darker than most of my other ones but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Love to know what you think of it !
Thanks to my friends at The Poets of Rivendell for helping me to work the kinks out of this one. This is an attempt at a Kyrielle style poem.
The Dark'ning Skies
Drum beats resound to chants of war
"His army has come," all Gondor cries
The light of day shall break no more
As fell beasts fill the dark'ning skies.
Fire and stone rain from high above
Burning, crushing while innocence dies
Families cling to those they love
As fell beasts fill the dark'ning skies.
Come piercing screams and claws that reap
On wings of death, the Nazgûl flies
Yet soldiers fight for hope they keep
As fell beasts fill the dark'ning skies.
