Hiya. I wanted to write a poem, upon seeing so many others posting theirs. So I just turned this one out a couple seconds ago... tell me what you think. If you're familiar with the story of Clarissa Harlowe, than you might make some connection with it to this poem.
-
Somehow I found
I needed a sign.
What was to be mine-
would've had me bound.
"Should I do this?
-winning dad's approval,
may cause the removal
of that youthful bliss."
The estates slept ahead
unaware of its weight
in my decision of fate
or the battles of mind I led.
"Should I commit?
-oh, how perverse!
Didn't I learn just the reverse?
Land over love! How can I think 't?
Yet, it was pushed into my face.
"Child!," was the scold.
"Wisdom doulbes when you're this old.'
I longed for an agreeing embrace.
"Should I run away?
This mind can't rule--
It can't conquer, nor fool,
mine heart that swelled this day."
That was the oath I put forth,
to shield further damage--
but that Lovelace savage
would give much to remorse.
