"Tainted" a poem

Postby Quill » Wed Jan 02, 2002 12:56 pm

Possible season 6 spoilers!
This poem was inspired by Willow's behavior in "Wrecked"

"Tainted"
By the whim of a tainted grace
Save nomore than my own flawed nature
I find myself caught between my longing
For a better name
And my need to remain a steadfast figure
Of graceless existence -
Anchored in these solid masses
of man-made Earth and lies
Engendered in acts of self-destruction,
I am foremost a filter of troubled shadows,
torn from my respite
and thrust into the moment -
A willing accomplice to my own
Drainging impulses...
No more,
no less
Than human.
~JH Quill

i always admired the poet. for very few are actually good. to me writing poems is harder than writing a fic, you gotta say it all in a lot less space.
and you seem to do it pretty well..

I loved it specially this line "I find myself caught between my longing for a better name"
Beautiful, just beautiful.

Thank you all for the helpful feedback. Poetry has always been my personal preference when it comes to writing, but I rarely share my poetry, which makes getting feedback and commentary on it a bit difficult. *grin* It's good to know you all like it.

I really do like to see poetry on the board. I only wish I myself were more talented that way!

I'm picky about the poetry I like. And I like this. It's very evocative and pensive. Some really clear and yet hazed imagery. A good mixture.
