SL Poertry - Achristmas Tale

Submitted by Dorian Blazer

SL Poetry

We write from the heart
To all poets who feel as I do

We write from the heart

to give peace to our soul

quiet in our minds

our only goal

lifes pain and experience

expressed in rhyme

sometimes extinguishing

the passage of time

shaking hands write

pain from the past

hoping the act will

suppress at last

that which has hurt

and burned deep inside

blurring all emotion

those things that we hide

so we let it all out

put it on show

somehow hoping

we can let it all go

rhyme and poetry

keeping us sane

so here is my poem

my expression of pain

Introducing a new column.......

We know there is a huge writing community in Secondlife and, being a poet myself, I know the huge amount of very real talent there is to be found in this virtual world of ours.
We like to showcase what we can to show you, our readers, what can be found if you are inclined.
We already have many stories and articles and, of course, pictures that show the diversity of SL now we would like to share the poetic talents that can be found in our new column that can be found in M.A.C.E.
If you have poetry you would like others to share contact info is at the bottom of the first poem from Dorian Blazer in MACE.
This first poem is based on the Samarkand roleplay sims:

The ringing sounds of flashing steel
the beauty of their dance.
Their courage and their skill ensures
that naught is left to chance.
