Flitting between the shades of Grey
With Powerful Notes
Within the Snow
Of Wars and Dreadful Things

Each click and whisper
Each *****ter-clatter
They will arise
And search the skies
Like the Dragons of Old Gone Days

They will stay
Till they find the place between,
The shades of Grey
The place of Virtue
Lost in the dust of Wars and Dreadful Things

Screeching
Wailing
Bailing,
Out Water from the Boats of Men
Who lived in the Glen
Like the Dragons of Old Gone Days

Where Dragons Grazed
And Bats did Fly
With the Whipping of the Wings
Between the Shades of Grey
Of Old Gone Days
Wailing and Bailing the Water
Of the Men
Of the Glen
Lost in the dust of Wars and Dreadful Things

Welcome to YPDC, Nathan. : )

I saw your post in the forums and thought I'd pop by your page. I don't have time to read everything you have posted in order to reply in the forum, however (honestly, I don't know if anyone can given the number of poets/posts on this site and the general desire to read a variety of others). You'll find the longer you stick around and the more interactive you are, the more YPDCers that will read your work in return... give it a bit of time.

I like this piece. To be honest, I'm a bit thrown by the capital letters here and there throughout... I, personally, find it harder to read as a result (not impossible, or unbearably even... just not as easy as I think it would be without some of those capital letters). It is an interesting piece... it gets my mind turning on a number of things (long gone days and dreadful things...). And if this is your first (!), I'd absolutely encourage you to continue writing - this is an excellent start!!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
