Well still not lying in particularly well. Woke up at nine today. Oh well. Have been sat here since then trying to finish off this poem. It's been a particularly taxing one because I'm trying to fit it into a style I don't use often and still get its point across. However, I've finally finished it and now I'm going to post it here.
A Prayer and a Sonnet to Calliope
Let me not use one word when ten will do
Let me not convey thoughts in simple terms
One word shall not say what you want it to
Nor elegantly express all that yearns.
Let me not avoid those lexeme that let
my exact intention be understood
nor exact vigors with facile words yet
regurgitate some placid platitude.
When I break silence next, pray, let me make
a descant on which the ear will be hanged
let not my inconstant observance break
let not my percipience be unmanned.
I beg of thee bring forth from my minds stage
that performance to land upon the page.
Hope you enjoyed it. It was challenging to write but I'm pretty happy with the result.
