Wrote this for another person on another thread, for his use, not mine: http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=38702 . I didn't spend as long on it as I would have on a piece I actually cared about, but I am curious as to how you guys like it. I was toying with a few things, and tried a couple experiments, tell me how it went.
On wind I flew, for shadow, window through
I blew, to you, when nursery doors seemed
To conceal your fear in the night’s dark blue
Mystery, as you pirate playing dreamed.
From father yours, to Neverland, we zoomed,
Where games no end, and Hook’s defeat we’d pretend
But tired you of Games’ Delight; wished plumed
To grow, and live beyond the dream; to bend,
And age, and like the rose, conceal and thorn,
And in your father’s house, in mother’s guise,
Wither, as worm’s terrible glory is born;
As your fathers’ bounding walls spread and rise.
The gator, has won in the end, not I
I was younger, but father and hook more sly.
