If you...

If you...

A Poem by ~Sorcha~
"

for a contest of bad poetry, I don't know how bad this is because I am too confused as to what I wrote, but I am trying to do my best at writing a bad poem and it's hard :(

"

If I cut off your lips then your songbird will sing no more because the rain has fallen,

 

If I saw off your arms then your songbird will fly in a grave because the earth has called him,

 

If I slice off your legs then your songbird will strut no more because the stag's foot is graceless,

 

If I chop off your head then your songbird will be alone for the people who are our mess.

 

But if you slice off my lips then my lion will roar no more because the eagle flies,

 

If you chop off my arms then my lion will be hungry because I ate the spider's web,

 

If you cut off my legs then my lion will fall into the sky where the ocean cries,

 

If you saw off my head then my lion will laugh in sorrowful delight for the checkmate is over.

I love how confusing and nonsensical this is:] Beautiful.
My favorite line is:

"If you chop off my arms then my lion will be hungry because I ate the spider's web..." because it makes no sense at all!
I love this:]
