    Poetry by Hito!

    Everyones doing it, so I thought I'd jump on the poetry bandwagon. At least I'm getting SOMETHING creative done - even if it's not RPGM3

    Streetcorner Prophet
    The end is nigh, my time is near,
    my sins I should repent.
    So claims the words of the false divine
    from what heaven was he sent?
    Ah, and streetcorner prophet, tell me:
    What ending will it be?
    For there are diffrerent deaths proclaimed
    in the faiths of you and me.
    Ah, and streetcorner prophet, tell me:
    What signs proclaim our doom?
    Did the stars fall from the sky
    or a man rise from his tomb?
    Ah, and streetcorner prophet, tell me:
    What is it like in hell?
    Does the world proclaimed by Peter or Dante
    Await the horde of the fell?
    Ah, and streetcorner prophet, tell me:
    What does salvation need?
    Do I give away my possesions
    or follow a sacred creed?
    Ah, and streetcorner prophet, I tell you:
    You words, I find, ring hallow.
    And I stand up to give my seat
    to skeptics that will follow.



    Here's another one. I KNOW, involving death in a poem as a teen is so horribly cliche. This has no real meaning, actually, I just thinking finding whats referenced in the last line in a cemetary would be creepy. Oh, and I know I use "Ah!" and "Oh!' too much. Sue me.

    Finale
    Ah, it's a pyrotechnic crescendo, and away we go!
    And oh, the end is such a show!
    Colored lights flash in the sky
    An ooh, an ahh, and then you die.
    Epigraph: Happy Fourth of July!

      I really liked the first poem, any particular street poet inspired it.

        Haha, nope, but I live in a suburb of Minneapolis so I've seen them before
        Oh, and I'm guessing it was just a typo cause this is poetry, but I wasn't talking about poetry. It was referencing people who stand on the street wearing the signs saying "The end is near," or something like that.

          Oh I know, that was a typo on my part. You should share some more poetry.
