My sister, the oldest,
Is a bookworm indeed. She showed me a path, Trodden by the boldest. Weaving its way through mystery hills, The road is soft dirt. Barefoot I can go, As birds sing about in trills. So I run at full speed, Down the winding path. It carries my quickly to the end, But there it plants a seed. At the end is a gate, Which leads to another world. One of darkness malice, Hate. But looking down far, I see a light end. For through the dark way, One comes to a star. On this road do I move, Through the gate of metal, dark. My feet land on bricks, slimy gross. So I step on quickly, My toes finding each brick’s groove. The darkness is frightening, The path doubles back. But I don’t want to see the same again, So I push on faster, feeling the road curve tightening. I’m now back around, Moving towards the star. In the sadness it’s gloomy, But evil doesn’t surround. The road becomes steep, And I start to slide. It’s pulling me faster, And closer does the bright point creep. So I close my eyes, Pulling through to the end. And when I open them back, I can’t believe the darkness dies. This sad path has ended, I’ve seen it’s full course. But now there are two gates, One well kept, with a road behind. But I turn to the other. It’s gate is new wooden, But the path behind… Is not made. It’s waiting for someone to come, And guide its way. It’s calling on me, So path guide I become.

I enjoy this poem. It is a style that I find very difficult to pull off but you did it quite well!

Thanks! What about the style do you find difficult? Because reading your poetry, I bet you could learn quickly.

It is hard for me to write just about anything in an abstract way. But you do it so well in some of your stories and poems. I love it!
