Poetic Justice

Right on a lake was a bloke who was

Scared of people who are different.

This is a tale of his hatred for

Any one else who is gay or hurt,

Down on their luck, or wants help with stuff.

Screaming and shrieking, he scares all who

Dare come around his home. He was at-

Tacked by bears and then needed help.

None knew or heard his yells. He had ter-

Rified all who knew him away. He

Died all alone. He knew irony.

Author's Note

This is an attempt at writing a poem in the style of dactylic hexameter. It is probably filled with structural errors, but I've never written anything like this before.

by the way, the content is interesting. I had an experience like that when I was young.

RIGHT on a...LAKE was a...BLOKE who was.
SCARED of pe....ple.

I think it f***s up there, technically. but it's an interesting structure. I think this is a hard contest. I surely wouldn't be good at it.

but, thus far, you are the best and I will honor my commitment.

Hey! A contestant! Ok, let me mull over this one and I'll revert Knight.

I listened to the 'story' but it didn't seem to have a lot of room for feeling it. The details were all there, even motivations.
