ALL FOR NOUGHT
Possessions
I have not beauty of stars,
Nor rhythm of oceans deep;
I lack the nectar of a dewy dawn,
No whistles to throttle a chime;
No salt to shed a sorrow borne,
I'm void of sunny winds,
Without a halo and absent of colour;
What jewel dazzles a rainy day?
No muse to reply in rainbows

Nadir
A dragon grins in skins of
Fiery wealth, stolen from souls,
Of blind sight, where opened stones,
Wide in galactic expanses, shatter
The magnitude of eons,
Waiting forever, in blank canvases,
From whose words doth jingle warbles,
To strand hairs of maidens gold,
In towers atop metrical, molds of clay
Process Note: ALL FOR NOUGHT, i finished today, a poem i have been working on for a while, After reading the bards That Sanaa have listed for us today, i think it come closest to William Wordsworth - The Table Turned So i'm launching into battle! with the bard, William Wordsworth.

TIME WRITTEN IN SAND
At center, core place of wisdom,

Life thrums cords, to flow streams
Of tiny worlds in suspension
Monuments dissipate, age upon age
In snail like pace, beneath stunning sun
And whispering moon unheard;
Simple sacrifices to unsuitable deity

Voices
