This is the place for readers of poetry. Discuss poetry and literary art. You can also discuss music here, including lyrics. Also, you can discuss poets themselves, in addition to poetry.

Equality

Post by groove »

A smile fleeting gives Summer pause
and as quickly is again gone
giving instead a different cause
where transient feelings do not belong.

There within this mortal shell
differences ever abound save one:
when ones delight is personal hell
bounding a thrice eclipsed Sun.

And there sheathed surreal and sublime
lies the duty within the tract;
found despite season, found outside Time
redeeming then each birthing pact.

Equality, long sought, is eventually found
within that dusty doorless hall,
where regardless of caste all are bound
wrapped in the same funereal pall.

Very nice. I like the rhyming scheme. Obviously poetry isn't solely about rhyming, but I like the musical element in it.

Excellent. I only like few poems out of the millions in literature, and you sir, have written a poem I like. Very nice!
