i dont normally write story like poems, but its halloween so 'wooooooo' ---- He once saved a boy from drowning in a lake 'LOCAL MAN SAVES BOY' the paper said the next day The kids had been warned away from the water Our man saved the boy, but alas not the daughter So the family cried tears of sadness and joy the mother the father, and yet... never the boy straight laced straight faced in silent decay the boy never said nothing about that day. until one day our hero, he passed away Our boy, now a man, smiling, bright eyes Took his young girlfirend Down to the lakeside. and out on a rowboat in the still of the bay She drowned like his sister had that day. The boy gazed at the lake and said "thats for you Earl" As another soul goes with our hero to hell --- |

wow...interesting, but im not sure i exactly know what's going on....could you explain it to me, im usually more perceptive than this, but its such a cool poem i want to make sure i understand it joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless... |
