Common sense

at who's expense

Lettered cathedral he now invents

 

Sticky floor

and unhinged door

Concealed darkness at its core

 

To the drum

of just plain dumb

Simple stare confirms him glum

 

Searing pain

cooked his brain

Spilt emotions always stain

 

Look within

his hairy skin

Tease away the itchy pin

 

Amongst the light

of darkest night

His candle offers blind insight

 

Watch him lurch

off his perch

His own backside concludes his search

 

This the year

He'll disappear

A folded stamp addressed to fear

Like this. Obscure in parts but the sense carries it forwards.

I understand what you mean, as long as you understand the morals set out in chapter 1, are written on a stamp. That is the important part.

HA, that's GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Was fun to write, maybe it is a little obscure but I think that adds to the read. I remember once someone wrote a poem called black and it only contained the word black. When they asked 10 students its meaning it ranged from death to enlightenment. I guess this tells us we bring our own experiences to each read.

i really like it
the obscurity definitely adds to the read
good job!
