Hey everybody! :D New poem. Leoshi suggested this one to me, and I finally sat down to write. I was on a choir competition/fun trip (we compete in the morning and then have fun XD) and then when we weren't doing anything, I sat down, pulled out my notepad where I had kept the notes for poem suggestions, and wrote it. Anyway, I'll stop my story so you can read. Hope you like it.
"Ode to Taopo Swamp"
Bubbling green waters breathe a putrid stench;
Stagnant humid air makes you choke and gasp.
No reviving waters drain down to quench
This thirsty land that, which without, won't last
Don't judge merely by this ill appearance
Stain-clothed books can hide beautiful pages
Water of life can revive dead vibrance
Revealing beauty adored throughout the ages
Pity, please, traveler, don't let me die
Please, revive me so I may once more shine
I was getting thiese mental images for the treasure to be like huge fields of flowers and plants and the water goes clearer and "sparkle, sparkle, sparkle" and the like, and I really felt like writing another quatrain about it, but then I decided I would let you decide what kind of treasure you wanted the rain to reveal.
What do you think? Hope you like it. Please R&R!
