Random poems for funsies

Sorry for the delay (yet again), but I have fun news! The scene that I previously posted from my screenwriting class has been selected to be filmed by one of the mass communication courses as a short! Woo hoo! I'm really excited to get started and see the finished result =)

In the meantime, here are some poems from my creative writing class:

Phoenix

Graying feathers dangle from my frame

perched on a promise that my wings will again

Burn with Life.

My tail will glow brighter than Apollo

as it streams across the sky.

Shrugging off decrepit down

I gaze at the night which was once ablaze

With my Fire.

I desire to be devoured by crimson and vermillion

and renewed by the ashes of my former existence.

A piercing plea shatters my silent patience

yet I know only time can determine my rebirth.

So I Wait.

My aged wings salute the moon

and I embrace freedom with a solitary breath.

Anne Boleyn

Walking past the angry crowd, I wonder,

How could this happen?

I was an attractive mistress,

serving the queen,

then catering to you,

once my games were done.

You freed yourself from Rome so that we could wed,

I became your second queen.

Though I had a child fit to rule,

I could not grant you a son.

My misfortunes with childbirth

sent me to the tower.

I watched my brother’s head roll,

knowing his fate was to be my own.

I climb the scaffold

and walk to the platform’s edge.

Pleading my innocence to deaf ears

I kneel before you all.

The executioner prepares his French blade.

To the world I say,

adieu.

Hope you enjoyed the new poems and I will keep all of you updated about the film!
