Majoraslayer Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Keep in mind this was written in very free verse. That means I came up with my own pattern for it and stayed consistent. It is meant to be read as 8-9-9-6, though that may not sound as good as most rhyme patterns. Either way it works, and I managed to tell a story with multiple morals and lots of rhyming. Enjoy! --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- The Stone Dagger Listen closely and you will hear a story of heartache, pain, and tears that comes from within the deep, dark fear of being all alone. He only felt genuine love for his dear, sweet, purest, turtle dove until the day through his heart she shoved a dagger made of stone. She thrust it once, she thrust it twice, but the fact that she had made the slice is what turned his heart to solid ice and chilled him to the bone. His love for her destroyed his life as the man that made that cold stone knife was the man that also stole his wife as he lay there alone. What kind of justice can she see in giving away her heart's gold key to a man who forged some cutlery using only cold stone. She lived her days out, deep in shame not knowing if she should take the blame. No new love is ever quite the same as that destroyed by stone. She feels alone, but with a guy as fickle love can so quickly die. The bones of her true, sweet love are dry and cold as dagger's stone. So hold your love close by your side as your selfish, gruesome fears of pride can steal your love from beneath your eyes and leave you all alone.

Majoraslayer Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Moral of the story: if you truly love someone, you should always hold that love in high priority. If you don't treat it with the utmost of care, you can easily destroy it. NEVER seek love elsewhere when you already have one in your life.
