The Solemn Trail

 

So hop on down the Solemn Trail

Filled with death, despair, and ail

Though you try you're sure to fail

Just follow the road and not the rail

 

Take a stroll on down the lane

Agony ensues with close pal pain

A tree erect with many years

Bears a message of many fears

 

'Turn and look with blissful glee

A fright whose fright is not but she

The girl with hair down to her knees

Her pretty face seems but to plea'

 

'Follow her and tend her whims

Beware of trees with darkened limbs

She follows the rail down by the creek

You must help her, her future is bleak'

 

So run along to the mystery lass

Pray to be bronze in the dull brass

Where lyrics do fail and rhyme does not

Remember she has a sinister plot

 

Go up to the house and knock 3 times

Listen for screams and eerie bone-chimes

Open the door and proceed with caution

Now you lay dying in a velvet coffin

 

Scream as you might your doom is sure

The pretty girl was not but a lure

As you lay there you hear yet again

The words that haunt your eminent end

 

You followed the rail and now you must die

The girl with long hair has lead you awry

The tree old in age tricked the stupid male

Cause instead of the road you followed the rail

Split it up into stanzas (AKA poetry Paragraphs) and it'll be alot better..

 

and yes, I LOVE poetry... It's what I do.. :)

I'm not into it. I'm more into Songwriting myself, which is itself a form of Poetry...
