Poetry Flashcards
Prepared
We are prepared
Bombarded
We are bombarded
Comfortably
Exploding comfortably
Spits tame
Spits like a tame cat
Salvo
Space is salvo
Earth
The wizened earth
Pummels
Forgetting it pummels your house too
Nothing
But nothing happens
Here?
What are we doing here?
Ache
Our brain ache
Love of god
For love of god seems dying
Strange huge nothing
Strange, it is a huge nothing we fear
Matthew 24:6 jesus
Like a dull rumour of some other war
Knife
Wind knife us
Pale stealth
Pale flakes with fingering stealth faces
Lasts soaks
War lasts rain soaks
Glory
When will their glory fade?
Pslam 23:4
Valley of the shadow of death
Noble
Noble 6 hundred!
Rode
Rode the six hundred
Assonance
Repetition of vowels
Blind identity
Blind me to me own identity
Bandage history
Bandge up me eye with own history
Never
De cow who jump ober the moon
Dem never tell me bout nanny the maroon
Translucent
Green blue translucent sea
Wondered better
Wondered which had been the better way to die
Sunrise
Embarked at sunrise
Dark prince
A tune the dark prince muscular dangerous
History
Journey into history
Cairns
Cairns of pearl grey pebbles
1066
1066 and all that
