These are my first 2 poems, I will add more in the future. I have never studied poetry, so I don't know if anything is seriously flawed with them, andcomments are appreciated.
Btw, how do you add the show button, where you click and a box of text appears?
Twin Blades
Steel against steel.
How unlucky it is to strike
Forever locked in battle.
Steel against steel.
The swords entwine
Slice deeper and deeper
Never relenting.
Steel against steel.
Each realizes
None acts
The fear
Of the sheath
Is greater than the cut.
Steel against steel.
When Death Comes
When Death comes that is when
You truly live.
When Death comes you see,
The joy that was in family.
When Death comes to chip away,
What really there becomes clear.
When Death comes to take your love,
You realize your deed.
When Death comes to bind your crops,
You truly savor the supper.
When Death comes to burn the dwelling,
You feel the coziness of your bed.
When Death comes to smite your enemies,
You do feel a pang of regret.
When Death comes to blanket the skies
You are truly free.
And the candlelight I hold
For fourscore years and more
It did burn brightest tonight.
And when Death comes to me,
I came to Death happily.
And that candlelight I once held
For fourscore years and more.
When Death did come.
And Death did go.
That candlelight burned no more.
