Can I go into that cold night?
To wander with no family near
Can I alone cross the height?
When anchors drag me under here
Where fire warms my tired bones
Soft and harmless first appears
All the ones who have cast stones
Left me sovereign as it nears
Outside the night is dark and bitter
Tomorrow seems so far away
Yet the freeze of icy winter
Sparkles like the sun’s first ray
The unknown road into the night
Far colder than the fire light
Haha, this poem reveals too much about me. My inspiration is "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night," Jane Eyre, and integrity.
I believe this may be more iabix tetrameter than pentmeter, but it's a great start
ReplyDeleteI loved the story that your sonnet told. The last two lines were especially poignant.
