New Poem
An iatdouziac
Of gold and silver readily bought
Of honour and virtues we had fought.
Danger doesn’t know us… yet
We’re too strong for us to fret.
Peace.
(This was a poem done in ‘Scarlian’ style. It consists usually of 4 lines (which doesn’t have to rhyme), and always has a single word ending. And anywhere between 20 - 50 words long. This style of poetry is called ‘iatdouziac’, which is Scarlian for ‘a composer of poetry’, Scarlian often has a single word that means entire sentences in English. So the single word at the end would have more meaning, meaning there is a bit of translation lost. Below is another example of ‘iatdouziac’).
Often though, we like to sit —
Underneath the pine tree shade.
No, we wouldn't find it soon
where the wild wind was formed.
serenity.
Another example:
Rabid beast, wolves do come
Surrounded me, from who knows from.
With blood-shot eyes
And moon bought cries
Help!

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.
