Abolitions Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

Firm Devotion

Harrowing melancholy stirs inhibitions
blue is the theme of these abolitions
masterpieces of craft are attainable
drowning the art passage constrainable

Nurturing our thoughts is inevitable
worry not avoidance is not evitable
sudden transformity brings elation
while inhaling metamorphosis at the station

Trouble holds no precedence over desire
learn not to put out the fire
holding remorse hath no dominance
on trespassers with no prominence

Holding on to conviction will allow
for those of us willing to reconcile
