Long Trimeter Poems

Right now, are you feeling unsatisfied

Admit the fact, it took a long time to

The Demonic Prince

Demons
The legion of demons
They dwell
In the cold place of hell
Tempt thee
The depth of hell's empty
They're here
For it's time to spread fear
Black crows
Come out of the shadows
They mean
They mean to ruin thee
But who

As I walk through the doors of the hall,
I am swept off my feet by such flare.

conceals within tormented souls 
now stirring from their sleep,
and there with gruesome fate foretold

trijan refrain 

The heart half full means something’s wrong -
the Spirit’s oil runs low.
When emptied, broken, we are strong
refilled, and ready so -
God’s strength can fix a heart gone dull
our selfish contents He can cull.

Today I feel iambic! I would say
of all the meters, I like it the best.

In the year before darkness saw light,
When the safety of men knew no shroud.
At the time when the shadows of night,
In the Heavens had not been allowed.

When the spirits of men did not mourn,
Nor the...

A rainforest treasure,
she looks up to the sky;
And away she will fly,

Sweet, they play in the dew,
on green...
