[Poeticisms] Part III

It's that time again.  I've written some poems, so why not share them?

Eh?

Be warned...they're crazy. >_>

And it should be fairly obvious to you what inspired the first poem... ;)

To Isengard

'Cross the fields of Rohan, a cry can be heard

Repeating, repeating, the same constant word

Calling out, shouting out, words numbered six

Jumbled into a catchy, chaotic mix.

The words repeat, the listener chuckles

Turns it up 'til the whole room buckles

The song plays, like a parody-stricken bard

"They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!"

Dreamworks

I look up to the starry sky

And see a sickle there

A silver curve about to die

And be reborn anew.

I look up to the starry sky

And see a sickle there

And then, bemused, I wonder why

I look up and think of Dreamworks.

(This one doesn't have that great of a rhyme/meter scheme thing, but bear with it.)

I Am The Doctor

Armies run at the mention of his name

A lonely madman with a blue box

Every star, every planet, every time;

From anywhere to everywhere he walks.

Bright and shining are his companions

Until he loses them or they leave

The lonely madman with a blue box

Alone, all he can do is grieve.

The most deadly man in the universe

Angry, nothing in the world can stop him

And whose tears fall for those he loves

And in loss—he's dangerously grim.

The lonely madman, last of his kind

The last of the ancient Time Lords

Destroyed by one of their own people

And now all that is left is but words.

And this madman with a blue box

Told this by a foe both evil and grim

"Fear me, I've killed hundreds of Time Lords,"

says, "Fear me...I've killed all of them."

The lonely man and his blue box

Traveling through time and space.

In different guises, in different clothes

Eleven times, he's worn a different face.

He says, "Who am I? Don't you know?

If you value your life, your existence,

There's one thing you never put in a trap,"

And then enemy stops and listens.

"There is one thing you never put in a trap,

This world is protected, and I'm the protector

Don't you know who I am? Listen—

Here's who I am—I am the Doctor."

The Leap

Adventure awaits, across the horizon, to the map's edge

Into the unknown, to the craggy edge of the world

I look, my cloak blowing behind me, over the ledge

It bites me hard, the wind, with icy fingers of cold

But I stand aside.  I look around.  Behind me is past

The sky shines a burned red, the time is nigh

Nothing is behind, everything ahead, at last

It is time to leap, it's time to fly.
