`Ides of March`

Contest Write

Water casts a reflection of time beyond
Could the vision I behold, be true?
as I gaze upon, this deep blue pond
I see someone betraying you

 

Yes my friend beware the Ides of March

for what I  see, is yet to be

wander in fear or pay the cost

your trusting friend is your enemy

Sleep with open eye and light of dream

' lest danger finds you unaware in bed

and slips dagger in with slight of hand's quick scheme

Beware! Be warned! or Be dead!

 

 I do not ask to see such loss

these visions just  appear inside my mind's eye

so dear one be cautious of eve'ry turn you cross

for at dawn on the Ides of March,someone will surely die!

You wrote this so beautifully, Fran. I was betrayed and it felt like death. Your words of caution just flow and flow and create such a lovely and intriguing impact.

I don't know if this is a rhymed fantasy or is addressed to a particular individual, but the Ides of March is hard upon us, and if it is the latter, somebody might do well to leave town pronto. Especially if his name is Julius.

Such a mystical touch to the poem! A very novel theme of dark foreboding that is fascinating and grips the reader. March is usually associated with spring so I was enthralled by the radically different feel you have given it. So creatively penned, dear Fran! 🌷

[Fran Marie]

[emmajoy]

Betrayal in any form, within all history, is the sin that strikes all meaning of seasonal good will.. not matter which month. This however, your words, suggest manoeuvres and pain, subterfuge and goodness knows what.. and so perfectly put. Your writing is scarce these days but oh so worth waiting for! .

[Fran Marie]
