Lo the Days of Doubt Destroy

Lo the Days of Doubt Destroy


Lo the days of doubt destroy
those dreams I built but failed deploy

O’er changing winds and curses flew
the starlit night a crimson hue

Perchance my dubbins upside down?
where death was dealt, has now been found

Three crows now perch upon the cross
that bears my name where doubt was lost

This is awesome, Jimbo. I love the brevity. It's a true testament to a poet's talent to be able to say so much in so few lines. Loved this poem; excellent job :)

Many people have dreams they fail to "deploy" or pursue. We best make haste and work toward our goals now while we can, Jimbo. You have me thinking...and that can be dangerous. Smiles. Love, Carolyn

Hey, james, what are dubbins? This poem is quite interesting. In a way , this kind of reminds me of the sonnet I just posted. Very atmospheric! The last line makes me believe maybe something good happend (if doubt was lost? That is a good thing, right?) Thanks for commenting to me today. LUv, Andrea

Indeed, a simliar revelation....my friend. How doubt can haunt and keep us bound...it is a lesson to know it is not worth the price of holding the simple truth from those we love. Excellent poem, James.
