Backbone ~~~ A voice descends an icy vine strangulates ... and shakes the spine Though adversary defends the mind there's pain to bear one cannot find ~ A voice descends beyond compare substantiates ... complete despair All noxious thoughts though we beware appeasing phantoms our dreams prepare ~ A voice incapable of speech comunicates ... constructs a breach Impotent yet can often tweak the coldest nerve or blanch the meek ~ A surreal voice devoid of friend omniscient ... to comprehend Invade pervade to break amend a scoundrels touch we sore defend ~ A voice of ruin without impact serenity ... with jaws intact Deprived of site fraught intellect recurred demise we soon collect ~ Recurrent voice of hollow valor osculates behinds of power Slow deflates the might of cower and all for not perceiving scholar ~ A voice within could overcome undo connect of lip to bun Beyond the gate finds rising sun a drowning face deceiving none ~~~ |

Wow, great poem Rex. Powerful, but with such great flow. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Thankyou everyone ... I wrote this trying to better understand that undesired, unanounced fear that creeps along the backbone once in a while It's difficult to do it justice [This message has been edited by Rex Allen McCoy (edited 11-07-2001).] |
