As August Approaches…

A Prelude 


He fell, 

desperately quiet,

dangerously private, 

deliberately trying, 

to change the seasons. 

to cling to reason.

to tread not into treason. 

Pretty pieces of parchment pulling at his pen,

Witty wenches writing wild words about when,

His teeth turned them away upon entrance to the Wolf’s Den. 

Alas, the blood dripping brought more chill than heat, 

She still said that it would be a thrill to meet,

I walked up to her and gave her a kiss to kill as a greet,

And then we talked about August…

Ask for forgiveness now, she told he,

Usually he would give everything to thee,

Guess these moons have cost him more than just a fee,

Unless she is the one, best to just leave him be,

She should tread carefully when locking lips with me,

Told him she keeps her love locked up, 

let my silver tongue be your key…  


the ink spills on,

The Eighth Day of the Eighth Month

Colton is a poet I know and like. What I especially like here is the alliteration and repeats of the first part of the poem, this makes this urgent, pleading. Keep up the good work.

Interesting. it resonates with me a lot because I'm trying to avoid flirting with the basic beetches, and focus on deeper thoughts. then , regardless some gal will come forth. any hoot, tis a good poem. more finely penned than most. However! I would critique your use of alliteration. Stephen King says to avoid it at all cost. Does his fame necessitate that it be a rule? Probably not, but I'm still trying to give some constructive criticism.

Also, I'm ever so slightly drunk, so forgive me if my words seem barbaric or something akin to that ilk. :)
