Nowadays, it would seem that I still have next to nothing to do. School's just started, but the teachers still haven't assigned anything too big. Therefore, I try to while away the time writing poems for other websites. These are actually some very short poems (a nonet and a tetractys) I wrote a few months back for another website (now with revised words to better suit the mood) under a different username. They are still there and copyrighted to me, of course. Since the words of these two poems after revision, fit the character's mood and the theme of the collection so nicely, I've decided to put it here for everyone. Enjoy.
Context: Tails found a small canary trapped within a cage while making a bold trip to town for a grocery run. Feeling sorry for the creature from whom freedom had been so unjustly stripped and denied, Tails used all the money he had with him to purchase the cage and subsequently gave freedom back to the sorry bird. As he watched the creature flew back and enjoyed its newfound liberty under the vast sapphire sky above, the fox could not help but relate his life to the soul he had just saved, and wondered bitterly if he would be freed from the prison of prejudice and hatred as well someday. The sky then turned dark and soon, a downpour occured. The rhythmic drops of the rain coupled with the laments Tails had had earlier opened another powerful floodgate within the child's heart.
Cage
(Nonet)
A lone canary within his cage
He yearns for what's beyond the space
Far away, he longs to fly
To soar through that vast sky
I fulfilled his wish
And set him free
But who will
Help me
Be?
Drip
(tetractys)
Drip
The drops
Of this rain
Resemble tears
The ones I shed alone for none to hear
