Rime Covered

Rime upon Rhyme?

Neural winds flowing empty

unable to latch on to anything worthy

scouring the land for better rhymes and worldly

ideas, but rime covers neurons, unthawed and murky.

Rivers of Ice with solid surfaces and grand

trees usually in green expanse

but now covered in thin sheets of bland

ice, freezing even the driest of sands.

-

Cleverly placing heavy bars and grading

lines on heavenly feelings and scaling

rhymes on floating words and cadence

shrines the overall feeling, but patience

dines on unknowing people but they once had

time on their side for clearance

of thoughts with perseverance.

-

Now cogs no longer move

The machine no longer looms

Nothing produced, might as well be a tomb

Until something raids and brings back a boom.

    "Neural winds flowing empty" . wow

  • Oooo, that last stanza packed a punch! Loved your poem!

  • Wow!!!! So much wow. I initially copied “trees usually in green expanse but now covered in thin sheets of bland ice, freezing even the driest of sands” to say that I love the imagery of this, it’s so clever…. But then I read on, and then that entire second verse blew me away completely. The flow, the word choice, the rhymes, the emotion…. Just…. WOW!!!! I felt like I was addressing a massive crowd when reading it aloud…. It felt so powerful…. Well done!

    Beautiful! What caught my eye the most was the "Rivers of Ice" (s1,l5) in the poem because it was a place being capitalized.
