| Automatic and apathetic
She stared the purple silence down
Too many insouciant years had passed
Since she left that poor, compassionate clown
(Insouciant = Uncaring, nonchalant)
Machination
Levin
Howbeit
Rivulet |

| He sat there, enraptured by his machination,
that was when the levin struck the rivulet to his side.
Howbeit it startled him, he would not stop his lucubration,
so on he went, having just enough time to bide.
(hehe, I keep on wanting to say levoi instead of levin.. stupid Russian..)
latria
reverie
contrite
despondent

| Invariably, she was in a state of reverie.
Despondent from a world that was so contrite.
Wandering in the endless desert for an eternity.
Trudging thru Latvia* for day and nights.
*Latria isn't a word that I could find.....
Anyway....
Quick.
Submit.
Enhanced.
Guided.

| His movements were quick and well guided,
he knew in his heart that he would not submit himself to their torture.
'The sword that you hold was enhanced beyond any other' his memories confided;
he let his cumulated rage overtake the point of the blade to leave this treacherous culture.
treacly
contradiction
convalesce
oppugn

| Just a tip, Sarah - perhaps experiment with keeping lines shorter and/or of consistent rhythm/length? | |

| free will, or so we thought
What a contradiction, this free will
Treacly leading us to believe
Our lives are ours to convalesce.
But determination oppugns
And with it, our lives it weaves.

Bassoon

She wants to wow us with her vocabulary.

| no, I just can't think of words that fit into little lines... I've never been a poet in my life.
EDIT- ohhh, are you guys trying to poke fun at me? *sigh* I'm really slow on the uptake, forgive me.

He sat playing his burgundy bassoon.
Spittle dripping down to the bib of a loon.
The Asylum bore the brunt of his hate.
His genius locked up, what a sad sad fate.
People.
Greatness.
Waste.
Loathing.
Be nice Inqartata.

| Ordinary people have no place in greatness
They waste their cares in haste and loathing
Contrite sorrow is their end
No meaning from life do they mend
Wheat
Atlas
Zero
Snuff

| (ok, trying for something small)
Eating wheat and reading an atlas,
he saw naught but the zero instead.
His dog went to snuff at him,
but he pushed away his poor head.
forgive
lean
trite (archaic usage- worn out, frayed)
frail

| The life a roadie doesn't sound like a good time.
Constandly listening to rock with lyrics that don't rhyme.
All the unwieldy equipment too carry and load.
You might as well kill me with a venomous toad!
hmmm...wow... I can't believe I'm posting this.....
Said.
Whatever.
Window.
America.
If you are new to this thread, go back and read my other posts, I'm really not such a ditz...really...I promise.
