Carcanet

[whitman]

The hurricane blowing in my eye
unravels the bandaged sky,out of
my body i rise,doped earth's dream
arrives in a different guise to transport
me through the reveries of the foolish
and wise;My body is burning in someone's
dream,the dreamer is drowning in a stream.
a stolen nightmare threaded through
my carcanet.My chariot is swaying
in a distant chimera music is playing.This
fantasists heart will break his dream i take
and thread it through my carcanet.My ferry
is bleeding,a man on a cross is pleading,Mother
earth is sweating,my journey is ending,i thread
my last treasure through my Carcanet.

first off, welcome to the forums i really hope you enjoy it here as i much as i do:D
secondly, this poem has an addictive rhyme to to it, for me at least.
haha i had to look up what a carcanet was, and i like that this piece taught me something too.

as much as it pains me to say, i can`t think of anything else to say on this one.
a very enjoyable piece to read and i hope to see your next poem very soon.

Welcome indeed!


William Shakespeare,
Sonnet LII:

Therefore are feasts so solemn and so rare, Since, seldom coming, in the long year set, Like stones of worth they thinly placed are, Or captain jewels in the carcanet.


JRR Tolkien,
The Fellowship of the Ring

There flying Elwing came to him,
and flame was in the darkness lit;
more bright than light of diamond
the fire upon her carcanet

Two of my favorite authors?;)
