The Poetic Musings of Dawn

lannet (#123)

Tears of Ice

Frozen tendrils collapse under the weight
crushing the luminous crystals below.
Ripples of sound echo across the land
in reverberant waves that ebb and roll
like the tempest spouting vexation down.

Destruction never ceases under hands
ignorant zombies drilling deep within
deserted tundra of unchaste terrain.
Ecosystems shatter under the load
powerless to mortals empty control.

Mourn the erosion of this natural
existence that flees before solemn eyes.
Let tears descend along frosty pathways,
each an ice diamond lost in the abyss.




The Lannet is another poetry form I found on www.shadowpoetry.com.
The Lannet was created by Laura Lamarca and is a form of a sonnet.
The Lannet form consists of:

~~14 lines
~~10 syllables per line – simple syllabic meter is sufficient - stressed-meter (iambic, etc is not required)
~~ No end-line rhyming is required, however
~~ internal rhyming is permitted.
~~ A specific stanza requirement is not stated.
