Blood Red

A young boy stands, surrounded by shadows Within the midst of a glittering blade He says he can’t bare to see his morrows Preparing for his final escapade He indolently raises with a grin This shining dagger with its deadly head The boy is committing his dying sin This glistening dagger is now blood red The boy falters to the floor; He’s now dead He quickly realizes in disarray He’s awoken within a fiery spread Punished for the being that he would slay He's trying to pray for his salvation But he’s here for his deathless damnation Christian Scott-Myers 11/17/2015

Sorry for posting that reply askew It was meant for Skat and but not for you I hope you stay; watch my poems accrue I think I do this quite well; Do you too? This is my sonnet for yourself alone Thank you Mrs. Anderson for your support I hope my poems do not make you groan I will only quit as a last resort Writing my thoughts is a sure way to win This structure is fun; if not too easy Despite my first poem about a sin Hopefully it didn't make you queasy If you like my sonnet give me a shout let me hear what you want me to write about

Hello, Thanks for your considerate words My Name Is Christian, it's nice to meet you! I'm new to poetry; it's not for nerds So I hope you don't think my poem blew I realize they are not quite perfect But Practicing makes perfect as you know Hopefully my grammar is all correct That was my first poem, But I'm not through If you liked my poems, please ask for more I'd love to make some specific for you Make some suggestions of things you adore Ask for something new it's long-overdue It's nice to express these words I can brew It's nice to meet you; now I bid adieu
