Worms in the ground

Mellow creature in her day
Ere long hither shall lay,
Asleep, pale, quiet, stark -
Lowly burrow in the dark.

firethief "So it's come to this
a girl in a garden
a hardening heart
and a Winter's kiss
Salt in her bones
and the faltering
song of a mother's voice
resounding on stone
It's a thin tune
thin as new ice
and twice as cold
She curses the moon

ach gotta go ..."

Writers_Block "Haha I hope this is good? I assumed that when you said singsong you actually meant singsong...and if anyone is curious I based it off the tune from Dance Dance, in Lord of the Dance haha. If that makes me sound frilly well, I guess I'm a frilly frilly man."

Rac7hel "I've been wanting to try this out, so I hope some of you people will join me.

I ask only that you write in "singsong"... It doesn't have to rhyme, although rhyming is good.

And you certainly don't have to stick with the same poem structure that I did. Do crazy things. Be creative."
