Anacreontic verse is an Ancient Greek lyrical form, consisting of 20- to 30- line poems with three to five syllables per line. Developed by 6th century B.C. poet Anacreon. A form that emerged during the height of the dramatic, musical,
artistic, and poetic culture. The poems revolved around themes of love, infatuation, revelry, festivals, and observations of everyday life
They try to destroy,
firing their arrows,
throwing their stones,
she's not the Devil,
nor a perfect saint,
but always misjudged.
It's not just humans,
but ghosts and demons.
She tries to ignore,
but the wounds bleed,
so deeply it hurts.
Her eyes are sore
from constant crying,
they are ignorant
to her soul dying.
She still tries to help,
but is seen as wrong
and a misfit.
Hiding in silence,
sins kept a secret,
in search of freedom.
Creates her own world,
to spread love and joy.
Still they criticize,
so she remains lost,
between virtual
and reality.
In realms of pretend,
she sits on her throne
as the queen of darkness.
