Rewrite, repost:


Futility

Cornucopias horn is full
Yet I see the pain of hunger
There are more than three bags full
Who is the hoarder, which monger?

Most of the written pages
Time has eaten and burped away
Through the banquet of the ages
Bilious with gay and bray

Apocalypse pours the glass for few
Pledging them desired power
Always mesmerizing those new
With the idyllic of the hour

Is this the seed of chaos core?
The rivers flow of inane
The exit of the gardens door
Our humanities insane

But who am I to rap times rend
I cannot even dream an end

While I don't always write a reply for all of your poetry that I read -- I do seek it out.  I enjoy your style and this poem is excellent.

Thank you.

As a Capricornian born
I thank Amalthea for her horn.
Though nurturing God Zeus too,
alas left nought for me and you.

Though even Cronus swallowed stones
when fed to save God Zeus's bones,
so horn of plenty has a price
and one that isn't always nice.

When Apocalypse has had its say
there's few it may help on their way,
so lust not for it's secret power
accept that you it won't devour.

Within the seed of chaos core
we'll exit through our garden's door
and take with us a poet's heart
as on our journey we depart.

But I am me, and me's my friend
and new beginnings are my end...
