Not much to say other than my poetry bug has bit me yet again. I actually have another, longer poem done as well but am still debating whether or not I'll be posting it. Knowing me it will be up tomorrow. In any case, here's Defray the Turtle. For those who don't know, "defray" means "pray for" and this is sort of a response of mine to the Soul's Winter comic arc in Mirage Studios' Volume 1 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Enjoy
Defray the Turtle
Soulless is the gentle man
Betwixt the world of beast
And his dear humanity's keep
Conscious of his subtle way
He exists with worry upon his beak
To escape he readied and ran
Guided by pain in labored breast
Until arduous end with destiny's heap
Thus heralded quest ends at bay
Where he remains shattered in the wreak
End this touching scene
End it all this wake
Not is he turtle or man
Who is soulless by
The Eternal Sea
Defray he
Defray he
For a turtle cannot
Pray for his own
This day or ever more
