Stanzas 11 and 12

Recommend

He feels his heart might soon be burst

By memories so vile;

Nine vulture’s chicks, eager to thirst

On traveller of dream’s mile.

 

The flight goes on: his- and so, theirs,

A race against black eyes,

Worlds turning, now present stairs,

A path leading to the skies.

Author guidance for This poem

mattsmusemelangre Ok... This idea is for an experimental poem... My idea is that anyone who wants to can contribute a stanza per "chapter." The only real rule being to try and see if you can stick to the rhythm and rhyme scheme. The rhymes themselves can be quite loose like I used "about" and "hour." (This is probably strictly not rhyme but the important effect is still there.) The subject matter is dreams so you could basically talk about whatever you wanted. Though if you want ideas for especially significant moments and images for dreams- the dreamer is an artist by proffession in the day and is distressed at the moment because he has been divorced by his wife. Maybe I'll start with a few stanzas to kick it off.
