A Special Thanks To Ernest Hemingway for inspiring me to writting all versions of this poem.

I previously submited a version of this poem. It was deleted and immdiately reposted. My apologies for resubmitting it.

King Midas's Golden Touch

Version 1

Broken souls and disillusioned dreams. Broken toys and angels without wings 

Weep for the fallen brothers and infants without mothers 

Pained tears encompass the empyreal rays. Pompous worlds painted in a destitute haze

Transmogrified in the iron flood. Transmogrified in the spilled blood 

Frightened children flee from the impending devouring wails of the banshees 

Captured children drown in the seas for the coming spring's garden poppies 

Choked whispers, within frozen forgotten tale’s, the phantom spirits lurking behind the veils 

The strong beguiled yearn for their thirst, obtaining the hero’s, plagued curse 

A solitary cane and an abandoned house assembled upon soot

A dying hearth and a trembling shadow with crushed raspberries underfoot 

Greet the honor, greet the madness, beat the dishonor, win the chalice
 
Defeat the grandest, apparatus, acquire all the treasure's honored status


Version 2
Broken souls and mutilated dreams                    
Broken toys and angels without wings               
Weep for the vanished fallen brothers                       
And children without hope or mothers                     
Pained tears encompass the solar rays                 
A pained world in a destitute haze                     
Transmogrified, engulfed by the flood                    
Swept away and drowned in the spilled blood     
Panic children flee from shadows                       
Spoils feed the seas of young willows                 
Choking whispers, frozen buried tale                   
The phantom spirits behind the veil                    
Strong beguiled only yearn for their thirst        
Obtaining the hero's plague's cursed                         
Wooden cane and the house build on soot      
Dying hearth and trembling bloody foot            
Greet the honor, greet the madness                    
Beat the dishonor, win the chalice                  
Defeat the grandest, apparatus                           
Acquire the treasured honored status
