#23 Bloodbath

The statesman was driven in state.
He who dare turns love into hate.
They pretended they knew nothing.
Sorrow feeling before killing!
Love could only turn into hate?

Roger’s Blue Jay touched the home plate.
Indulged in power and be sate.
He is an excellent fielder.
Beret suffers from disorder.
Love could only turn into hate?

He kept it as a mullet pate.
The fashion beginning to date!
Pondering on an edge of knife!
Father of one slaughter loved wife.
Love could only turn into hate?

She has been a faithful flat-mate.
He's at his desk early and late.
He drive the stagecoach turns one's coat.
A cut on the side of the throat!
Love could only turn into hate?

She who shall decide her own fate?
He shall meet his various fates.
War veteran aimed for his heart.
Trouper fight for altar and hearth!
Love could only turn into hate?

The air nuisance one must abate.
They shall both start with a clean slate.
The words were describes as obscene.
They were both found died on the scene.
Love could only turn into hate?

The discount goes at any rate.
The spatial spat were all in spate.
The blood led us to the bathroom.
Fall into oblivion doom.
Love could only turn into hate?

Only the silly fellows prate.
Skate over thin ice, move on skates.
Relict was fallen steadily.
Aged seven left with family!
Love could only turn into hate?

Author notes

The bloodbath is related to a financial jargon of "Big Bath". Where this company reallocate it income and expense and result in poor performance. Here I believe the downward spiral in inflation and wage increase could led to a better solution for some of the over-valuated properties' lenders.
The beret ended the chain captivated him to his beloved nurse he met in the hospital. It is only a metaphor telling that soldier thought it should be an end of this fantasy. It bear no benefit for the poet to continuously write to the girl. It is known to the boy there he should escape this horrible linkage. It is not fair for both the boy and the girl. Here the daughter and the wife is the same person. He thought it would be good if someone from the welfare could interfere if needed. The couple aren't really dead!! Well... at least they aren't communicating throughly.
I found the "Time to say goodbye" a wonderful song to be hear. Although it might be famous and used in some funeral.

  • Cut-throat price war on Tasman air routes
  • NZ homes defy downturn
  • FTSE 100 suffers worst week in six years
  • Time to say goodbye
    When Im alone
    I dream on the horizon
    And words fail;
    Yes, I know there is no light
    In a room
    Where the sun is not there
    If you are not with me.
    At the windows
    Show everyone my heart
    Which you set alight;
    Enclose within me
    The light you
    Encountered on the street.

    Time to say goodbye,
    To countries I never
    Saw and shared with you,
    Now, yes, I shall experience them,
    I'll go with you
    On ships across seas
    Which, I know,
    No, no, exist no longer;
    With you I shall experience them.

    When you are far away
    I dream on the horizon
    And words fail,
    And yes, I know
    That you are with me;
    You, my moon, are here with me,
    My sun, you are here with me.
    With me, with me, with me,

    Time to say goodbye,
    To countries I never
    Saw and shared with you,
    Now, yes, I shall experience them,
    I'll go with you
    On ships across seas
    Which, I know,
    No, no, exist no longer;
    With you I shall re-experience them.
    I'll go with you
    On ships across seas
    Which, I know,
    No, no, exist no longer;
    With you I shall re-experience them.
    I'll go with you,
    I with you.

      Devastatingly Good

      Wow, when we first saw it it really wasn't all that well, but only I seemed to be able to fine the very remote rhyme in it. Now you've transformed it so much that I actually like it a lot. I'll be sure to tell the host to take a second gander at it.

      Great write, good luck!

      grammatically mistakes

      Thanks! I am still working on it. Allow me sometime to transform it into a limerick. I am half way there. I am hoping it would tell a better story. Thanks again.

      Love does really strange and often cruel things to the mind. Too much feeling, too little capability to control it. But you wrote this very well, and I liked the repetition of the one for impact. Good job : ) and good luck in the contest

      "He who turn love into hate" : should be "he who turns love..."

      "war hero pull out 9mm" >>should be "war hero pulls out ..."

      there are other places where you leave out a grammatically required 's' at the end of verbs with singular subjects .

      I would again work on the rhyme...

      It would took me sometime to get a rhyme... I have already entered As dark as it gets. So I would love to challenge myself to make this rhyme. It is more than 10 days I could revise it? right? I am going to work on it once I finished sweeping my church today. Thank you for your patience.

      This poem is good, I like it a lot, but I asked for rhyme, and this is not what I'd call a rhyming poem. So, unfortunately, I'll wait and see what my co-host wants to do, but I want to disqualify it. No offense. This poem would do well in my contest As Dark As It Gets, I'd think. There are still a few spots left if you want to enter it there. Thanks for your entry and good luck to you
