A Poem by William Soule
"

Entered into the "Speak Your Mind 3!!!!!" contest.

"

The edge of a cliff                                          back up to the clouds
                          I                                      fly
                          I                                      fly
                          I                                      fly
                          I                                      fly
                          Have fallen flat on the ground
 
                                Stiff       Shrouds                            g
                                     Sound                                     n

                                                                                 i  -  ?
        1-Are the rocks, loose like cannon fodder.                 r
        2-The explosion of armies expiring.                          i  -  ?
        3-The smoke—the fog—the general's daughter.        p

                                                                                  s
                                      Her   skirt                               r
                            covers the   dead                             e
                                    Their   souls—the sweat of war p

            When will I rain down again?

Some typography. Fun stuff.

writerscafe.org is doing something funky with my formatting, so I tried fixing it. Hopefully it looks correct elsewhere.
