  Twenty four tributes will take the dive, Twenty three tributes will give their lives, They'll butcher and kill, and murder until, Out of the Twenty four tributes one survives. For the Capital it's a game, One which could win you fame, They sit there and gaze, completely unfazed, ...

  An Ode to Mothers

  

  By Arwen0, Melbourne, Australia

  Being a Mum must be tough, Having to cook and scold and huff, To do the dishes every night, To wash the bathroom, to break up a fight, Wash the clothes and make the bed, Fry the bacon and butter the bread, Walk the dog and wash it to, There is always so much to do! Clean the kitchen and wate...

  Nero's Fire

  

  By Arwen0, Melbourne, Australia

  Red, orange and gold it fell, Straight from Satan, fresh from hell, All living things it devoured, While the citizens ran and cowered, Meanwhile the fiddler played his lyre, In tribute to the burning fire, People screamed and ran and cried, While everywhere innocents died, It covered every...

  I take the road less traveled

  

  By Arwen0, Melbourne, Australia

  When I come to a split in the path, I try to take the lonelier half, The one with trees ten metres tall, That doesn’t lead to a shopping mall, I take the road without maintenance staff, When there’s a fork in the road, I try to take the one less strode, The one covered in dust and moss,...

  In the Darkness

  

  By Arwen0, Melbourne, Australia

  Darkness descending, Along the untamed roadway, The day is ending, So hold your light high, Let its light shine through the black, Never let it die, Until the dawn breaks, With its enchanting fingers, Twining like snakes, Mixing pink and gold, In a heavenly mixture, The type never s...

  Tucked up in bed by a flicker of light, That is the light of a single candle, Never to be disturbed till dawn creeps, Then let light be broken by a single breath, But alas here is dream time come pick me up, No longer shall I linger on a flicker of light, A light shown by a single candle, But...

  Death

  

  By Arwen0, Melbourne, Australia

  Over the river Comes nights with a shiver, Shivers as cold as snow For it’s is this valley, Where death dilly-dallies, Killing friend as much as foe The walls are all red, With the blood of the dead, And the sadness mourning leaves The dead’s last few calls Are absorbed by the hallâ€...
