At the Crack of Dawn

A Monoverse Variation in 13 Lines

At the crack of dawn

I woke to find you gone

At the crack of dawn

I knew that you'd moved on

At the crack of dawn

I sang a mournful song

At the crack of dawn

You have done me wrong

At the crack of dawn

The day seems unbearably long

At the crack of dawn

I don't know if I can stay strong

At the crack of dawn

Alfred Noyes: The Highwayman

Alfred Noyes stopped by Nervous Norvis' café last night to have a cup of tea and recite his famous poem, The Highwayman for the crowd.

Beavis and Butthead showed their support for Noyes' work. Butthead stated "and then, my friend, you die," followed by Beavis' enthusiastic assertion of "you die!"

Noyes invited the fellows to join him for tea, but Beavis said they'd prefer a Crappuccino. They enjoyed reciting poetry until the next morning when the caffeine finally wore off.

Heart of Night

 

The night is filled with infinite lies

Most of them told by you

After what you've done, you ignore my cries

You think you're the only one whose feelings matter

You like to pretend you're misconstrued

But because of you, my heart is far sadder

I thought you were my sweetest dream

But this is completely untrue

For you have never been what you seem

Hold On To the Dream

 

Hold Onto the Dream

by

Illsa

 

No quarter is given

No means too extreme

When you're trying your damndest

Not to wake from a dream

 

You cling to the branches

Of the storm-shaken tree

Lest you lose your grip

And fall to reality

 

The painful realization

When one wakes from sweet scenes

Cause the Quixotic with great zeal

To hold onto their dreams

 

Falling from great heights

Can cause dire hurt

You plunge from the Heavens

And end up in the dirt

 

The most beautiful of fantasies

Is the sorriest of vanities
