The Pen Might Be Mightier Than The Sword; A Poetry Compendium

The pen might be mightier than the sword

But the sword still works

A Poetry Compendium by Charlie R.

Imagery

The pungent, malignant, air
The black, crispy, burning food
The glorious, flowing hair
The Painful, dour mood
These are but a few, an image, a picture in text, a painting with words, and a poem
And even when they say “Not Today” you do it anyways.
And when you need a brief description, a red cloak
It is more
A glorious deep crimson, standing out from the deep metallic hues of the knight’s armour,
It is light. It is Dark. It is everything in between
For that red cloak is more,
Not just a cloak, but a statement,
A piece of art,
It is enough to make the difference between
“Imagination” and True Imagination
From Boredom, to interest
That is Imagery

For this poem, I took inspiration from a poem we read in class called: A Poem, as I thought it had some powerful imagery that would make my poems more interesting

2:23 AM

I can’t sleep
The chicken dream
Chicken Dream
Surfing
.

For this poem, I tried to emulate an average dream of mine. Chaotic, but also ending at 2 in the morning

Haiku

For this Haiku poem, I took the common riddle “A tree falls in the woods but nobody hears it, does it make a sound” and turned it into a haiku, as I thought it would make an interesting juxtaposition.

The tree falling down
Hitting the ground very hard
Does it make a sound?
