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.

Perpetuous

It is an odd place for mortals.

It’s not surprising that they can more easily conceptualize places where no life can ever exist than understand such a place. Without ‘death’ they lose the cause and justification for their societies, families, work, and growth.

Nowhere does the absence of death’s surety leave a more unfathomable void than the two pursuits that often come to be central to their pitiable existence; worship and love.
For a time, when they first arrive, they cannot even comprehend their own existence. Let alone come to terms with the fact that ‘here’ such existences are commonplace.

To be continued...
