The Add a Verse Thread

[Apollyon]

Well here's a little idea I had. Each person posts a verse, kind of like an add-a line thread, but without the spam. Ok, the mood of this poem, I'd like to be kept fairly serious, I'll start us off:

When the darkness was split a-sunder,

The very sky didst roar with thunder,

Through the gloom and impending doom,

Rode a man on winged horse.

Upon his head a helm of gold,

At his side a sword of old,

And memories flooded to him now,

As he flew high in Earth's bough.

Ok well here it goes!

You guide our hands in battle, you bless our sleep in bed.

You help your heroes while they live, and keep them when they're dead.

You show the power of the runes to those of us who hear,

You fight to save the world, and all that we hold dear.

:- Might not be good enough

On the ground below

Humble men they rider saw

Fear ever in their gaze

For raiders were often there to raze,

Loot and pillage, and people enslave

None ‘gainst them could stand

‘Expert those of man-god kind

So the people did offerings bring

And for aid divine prayed

For a sign they took this rider now

Very nice posts both of you. :)

And in the swirling storm

And in the rain above

A mission was at fore-front

And tarry could he not.

He rode on, he rode on,

Rode on ahead.

Gorgeous mind, tearing thought,

A single focus;

A candle dark-surrounded.

A corkscrew flight and jostling whips

Of hair on his face

That tussled and rolled

In the punching gale.

[bryorama]

So let a love beat over me again,

Loosing its million desperate breakers wide;

Sudden and terrible to rise and wane;

Roaring the heavens apart; a reckless tide

That casts upon the heart, as it recedes,

Splinters and spars and dripping, salty weeds.

Very nice! :D This is quite fun..
