"An End"   9 - 9 - 01



an end We sought

an end We strived

a relief We needed

the blood will run dry



a soul We lost

a soul We knew

a soul We held

the soul, it was doomed



a life so battered

a heart so broken

a mind so scarred

the lungs so tokened



this lifeless corpse

was once vibrant and new

now a faint reflection

of its once known virtue

the laughter it made

the joy it could express

now lay on the floor

in its own mess...

Interesting piece with an 'unusual style'. Liked the 'basic concept' but felt that some of the rhymes were somewhat forced (strived/dry, knew/doomed, etc.,). Also, some of the lines appear to be 'wrong'. For example, did you mean to write; of its once know virtue OR of its once know virtue? A little 'nip and tuck' here and there and this could be an excellent piece! Best Wishes, Paul
