A poem I came up with-

[ulstersocialist]

Its work in progress, but I thought in the spirit of things with it being the night it is, I should post it now. Hope you like! -


'Rainy Eleventh'

In the summer months, of that eleventh night,
the apes were out in their glee
with their pile of wood reaching up to the sky
and songs in their heart of bigotry,
with their children locked and blindfolded
to the truth of history,
No man could force down this wall.

So we'll pray long and hard to Connelly above,
and the four winds around,
that the storm of thor will resound,
and that the rain will fall in
torrents to the ground,so
the tricolour will not burn,
but fly defiantly o'er head!
and with a song in our hearts that final verse,
will belong to the soldiers in red!

Good job comrade! Very appropriate for this time of year. I prefer poems that are very catchy (cant spell rymy* ) but I know there are other styles - this being one.

Keep us posted on this work in progress! - are you going to add more verses or just modify the wording?

Keep it up though, im glad to see people are still into poetry these days seeing rap music has taken much of the younger talent.

Have you other poems?

I not sure what you meant by this not being rhymy, I was making an effort for it to be just that style!

Ive not really got many other (political) poems at the moment, this one came off the top of my head as i was passing one of those damn bonfires.

Excellent poem comrade. For the record, I thought it was rhymy ( ;D) (at least that's the way I read it) and the hairs stood up on the back of my neck when I read the last line.

Keep it up!

No worries. I had a bit of a rythym in my head when i was typing it. I suppose you have to read it a couple of times for it to work!
