Some attempts at poetry, euphuism and lyricism. I usually try to be true to the old form (the kind of poetry I grew up with) with most of my work but do occasionally write in the new age styles.

I've lately been trying for a very simple meter but hope to gravitate towards doing some good pieces in the iambic pentameter.

Which sin is this?












Not nearly brave enough 
to try and quell this baying 
too weak to even hate enough 
to get comfort from the slaying 

Throwing stones, not just, in pity 
There's some comfort in death
I want to choke this riding guilt
that surges with every breadth

Is it  they that kill humanity
faces contorted with savage lust 
or does it see my fear and die   
smothered in its own disgust
