Since everyone seemed to like my last poem, I shall post the other two.
Let me explain that they are nearly the same, sort of one poem in two forms, and I'd like you all to tell me which form you like best. I'm only going to post one of them today, though.
This one, I think, is my favorite...
Oh Rise up and Come
Oh, the times are dark
In our suffering hearts
Worn, weary are we
From press of tyranny
Remnant of the day
That death-sting had its way
Look on that day in sorrow
Oh, rise up and come
Though I know you are numb
We must try again
Though Iverna will rend
For if we succeed,
We at last shall be free
And break the ever-dark tomorrow
Well, there you have it. You'll have to excuse the repetition of the phrase "ever-dark tomorrow"---it is a sort of trademark for Aidelahd. This poem/song/thing is a call for the Draedenai of all seven Kingdoms to gather together and try once more to overthrow the Dictator.
I'll post the other form tomorrow.
Write On!!!

"ever-dark tomorrow" - I think that's a good thing to repeat. We can't be offering our readers any hope, now, can we? :D I meant that, by the way.
That's a good poem! Doesn't stretch on and bore the reader, easy to follow, tougher to interpret...perfect!

Wow, that way great! Your poems are amazing!

Sapphira
Shelby your poem was absolutley great, you do alot of great work with your poems keep it up!
Bravo! And I say it again: Bravo! I love your poetry. You are truly gifted!
I don't usually say this much to people, but it has just occurred to me how much you guys all mean to me in the YCF. My life would be different without it. To my dear friends in the YCF, I am very glad you guys are my friends:)
Sapphira
Sapphira--you and the rest of the YCF mean the world to me, too! Y'all are like a second family!
Hey, we ARE your family, Shelby! Just not from the same mom and dad.
Ok, I mean we're all brothers and sisters in Jesus! Isn't that just so cool to think that we're all releated in Christ!? I think so anyway!
