somewhat morbid poem...

I wrote this last night. It's a little morbid. Started with me thinking of the phrase "flounder soundly;" then I wrote down a bunch of words with "ou" sounds, then "ee" sounds... this resulted eventually:

Breezes flounder,
green leaves whisper,
gowning weeping trees with
sound,

crownéd beasts arriving slowly,
singing softly,
bringing night.

Underground in
sleep eternal,
armored brightly, golden
bound,
feeding worms with rotten honor,
buried knights dream
fearing fright.

Slaughtered lately,
eyes turn inward,
staring blind at secrets
found,
flesh decays and thoughts grow moldy;
breach all wisdom
freeze all light.

"somewhat morbid"...? I think you mean ghoulish. The first two stanzas are okay... sorry, don't like this one. ~D.

I personally love this one. The sound-bound-found rhyme...ah! I don't know why it hits me so hard.
