The Alpha in the Omega
Just how will the world end, or will it? (Englyn Unodl Union)
Rated:

Avg Rating: (10)
Some say the world will end in fire. Not me.
There's ire enough for hire --
or not, so we become mired
in foreign bogs and expire.

Some say the world will end in ice. Not I.
That’s twice too much a price
to pay for one paradise --
I find much more to entice.

Some say the world won’t end at all. I think --
recall what can befall
us entrapped within the small.
In endings, the dawns revolve.

Englyn Unodl Union - 'englyn of the same exact rhyme'; for centuries this form has most often been used. This form is a poem of thirty syllables arranged in lines of ten, six, seven and seven syllables. Basically it has one end-rhyme, but in the first line one, two or three syllables overrun the rhyming word, and are echoed in the first word of the second line.
