Lark Train

My demons swim.
George's can fly.
Mabel's can shoot
Jimmy's won't die.

My sorrows are deeper.
Judy's weigh more.
Fred's chained him up.
Anne's heart was tore.

I can breathe lighter.
(Ah, that's where you win
From the contest of sorrows
One cannot rescind.)

When life beats you up, just remember: It beat up someone before you, and someone before them. One's own sorrows are not greater than anyone else's, only one's joy can be greater.

An Anti-poem

Lark Train

An Anti-poem

We stay
Strong, Do no
Wrong, these fools'
Song is too
Long.

That hate
Preach, destroys
Me, my friends
See, I feel
Sting.

You say
I'm a bad
Rhyme but through
Grime, I keep
Time,

Don't slow
Down, lease my
Crown, forfeit
Sound for those
Hounds.

Rhyme at the start, maintain the meter, give it your heart, a victorious leader

Syntax is weird.

Syntax is weird.

Reading the: Pauses
Uncompleted::: Clauses
Various. Punctuation.
Syntax structure; revelation.

Punctuation can be used to add unstressed beats into a poem simply because of how it's read.
