Ursa Major

was gonna be a pantoum, but im bad at those, so it turned into this

Secretly screaming

In the beaming

Of the shoved-away star,

 

Where the whispers

Of Ursa Major

Gently mar

 

The tears that

Parade in

Feather and tar

 

Secretly screaming

In the beaming

Of the shoved-away star,

 

Smoke drifting:

Sky’s memory of

Father’s last cigar

 

Where the whispers

Of Ursa Major

Gently mar

 

In shiny glances

Of silver chances

Painted in golden bar

 

Play the chords,

Sing the tune

On the guitar,

 

And become immune

To midnight that

Left a scar

 

The tears that

Parade in

Feather and tar

 

Smoke drifting:

Sky’s memory of

Father’s last cigar

 

In shiny glances

Of silver chances

Painted in golden bar,

 

Secretly screaming

In the beaming

Of the shoved-away star

 

Play the chords,

Sing the tune

On the guitar

 

Where the whispers

Of Ursa Major

Gently mar

 

And become immune

To midnight that

Left a scar

 

Secretly screaming

In the beaming

Of the shoved-away star.

That was pretty cool. I love the Ursa Major stanza especially. The repetition drives it all home. This would also make an interesting song.
