Literature Text

The moon is pale
It seems
With illness

Its gaze is sickly
Unfocused
Distorted

A whistle of wind
Plays out against the night
With fingers thrumming
Out a dirge--

The houses ache
With what can only be
A biting cold
A persistent cough

The town is plagued
By sickness
And churns with nausea--

And all the people sit
And sleep
With dreams
Of health
Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. Stop writing poems, they suck. But I waaaaaant to! Commence whiny child mode.

They're actually fun.

I liked it! It kinda reminds me of some BM lyrics. Good work!
