Hello, all. Welcome to the 30 days of Poetry with NaPoWriMo. Its National Poetry month, with the 30 Days, 30 Poems challenge. Lets get it started!!! Bring it on NaPoWriMo.
Day 1's prompt is to write 'a poem that has the same first line as another poem.'
Here's my attempt.
As handsome as a beast.
Slowly, he walks in beauty, like the night,
Imposing appearance suggestive to life and death;
And all that's dark and bright,
Surrounding his awkward world of strength.
The closer the view, the less he appeals,
Exhibiting humanly frame but surely nonhuman;
So calm, so skillful
Yet brutality can not conceal.
An attractive paragon of cruelty,
Firm, strong and weird,
Generous, yet filthy-
Perfect well-being of ill.
A mind at peace perhaps true,
Healthy and sick;
Heart in zest for love-
Love, yet to seek.
