A/N- Another poem from the project for English! Except in this one I did nothing to prove my teacher wrong... shame. You might be able to tell it's a bookish version of OMO, but don't try to sing it or anything, it's not like that. Yes, it's been done a kajillion times, but never by me.
Elyse3- Yay, Urchin is loved! I liked that one too. Hm, now that I've posted the parts of my English homework in which I incorporated LM I'll have to start actually writing ficlets again. Ah, well.
Obsetress- Ugh I hate that! Course, it's probably even worse for the kids who're taking a regular course and know that you guys are getting Honors credit for the same thing they do. THAT would inspire me to kill, were I in CP.
nebulia- Iambic pentameter... it's this thing from poetry class involving stressed and unstressed syllables and is absolutely evil. My teacher said that we wouldn't be able to do iambic pentameter, but then to prove him wrong I did. It took a long time, too.
At the Gate
Side by side
On the stone bench
Perfect together
His knee brushes hers
Then jumps away
But returns
Both faces flush
Daintily
Their love
So pure
And the garden
Overgrown
Shelters them
Their idyll
-
But I
I am left here
Watching woefully
Their happiness
My solitude
My misery
Squeezing my heart
Like a fist
He takes her hand
And I brush away
A silent tear
