I'm a huge poetry fan, i'm a writer myself. So i challenge those of you who dare, to write a poem. Something dark or humorous sad or logical or downright nonesensical post it right here if you want i got this idea since i just finished another one of my own and decided to share it with you guys, critic is accepted at all times, have fun with it guys, you might just find the writer in you ;)

Art of the written word

A sweet and many amused rhyme
Used a writer's one sense of time
Lyres and faery lands forlorn
A bough where a gentle incense hangs
Nightingale the most poetic
Of such a sweet verse sang
loves bloom and withering fade
Just as springs night to winters day
The silent written word
Be it heard by soft tone
Or unheard by seeing eyes alone
Sepulchres made of aged stone
Lustful eyes laid upon lush evergreen
Fey, starry, and pure
Left behind forgotten lores
Glistening stars speaking evermore
Gentle whispers
Sounding seas
Depths far too deep
Listen and you will hear
All such sounds
Pulling you toward
The art of the written word.
