Fire sun flowers crumble.
The seed scatter light
pours black funeral pyre
and old shattered glass words.
This earth old pride
a million suffer bloodshed,
the man gentle burned brow,
scorn back spit that never was.
Here stand old rose choked,
it's thorn salt wound wears crown,
never so much bloodshed
to hurt not over a million years suffer.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
