A Tale of Woe

First of I want to apologize, this isn't the post I wanted to post as of Sunday. I looked at the clock around 5pm after a busy day, a nap, and chores and school work waiting when I realized I still needed to blog! While you wait, please read Tori's post http://tangledreflections.blogspot.com/2014/03/almost-average-day-post-power-of-gods.html, which was the sermon before the one I will post about and is a great set up. This is not "A Tale of Woe" though, that will be my poem.

This is a poem I wrote when I was playing around in my room, trying to concoct a song that ended up being this poem. "Relating to any person, living or dead, is entirely coincidental," or however that goes. :)

                                           A Tale of Woe

                                                     I've come to tell

                                                         a sorrowful tale

                                                         that wrings my heart with grief

                                             

                                                        I've come to tell

                                                        a sorrowful tale

                                                        that pains me just to think

                                

                                                        first I had a bird

                                                        not significant you may think

                                                        but that was the beginning 

                                                        of all my grief

                                                        it was a rare beauty

                                                        that young bird of mine

                                                        then one day

                                                        in its prime,

                                                        it died

                                                       after that bird of mine

                                                       died so carelessly

                                                       the war began

                

                                                       then everyone

                                                       seemed to have died

                                                       with my husband 

                                                       and children too

                                                       then my family left

                                                       to escape the war

                                                       and I was left alone

                                                       now I've told my tale of woe

                                                       of my life shattered brutally

                                                       so take pity

                                                       on this young widow

                                                       whose joy ended to suddenly

 This is so ridiculously tragic I had my English tutor roaring by the time she finished it. I'm sorry this is positioned weirdly, I don't know what's wrong with my computer. I hope you've enjoyed it!
