Jennifer Kee Poem
Extracted from its rusty sheath
The memories of past battles etched in a copper tint
Glorious victories and murderous traitors
The valour of kings and the grace of princes
Passed down through the generations
The honour of winning and of life
Anointing others with power galore
The promise of death; the sanctity of life
Now thrown into disarray by a wandering metal rod

Jennifer Kee Poem
Your empty song resonating through the cavernous room
Loss and despair: a constant left behind
Pain dripping from the darkness, destroying all shields
A forgotten emotion lifeless in the corner
The overbearing blackness out shadowing the light

Jennifer Kee Poem
The constant aching of deep despair
A cutting sword to the novelist’s pen
Mythical creatures are no match for this legendary obstruction
The chaotic stillness proof of the battle inside a genius mind
The search for a word, phrase or rhyme
Ever reaching for that just beyond his grip
Literary collections are not of use
What is written is cemented, not to be moved,
The perfect sentence not his for the taking
He returns to the parchment
The ink drips from his quill
The dark spot is a new world for discovery
