Speak Now
Speak now, or forever hold your gall,
Squirming down within, Sun-hot and as busy as a mall, Fervent as a sin, Steadfast as the bullet-spattered wall Outside your fortress keep Where your enemies are put beyond recall. When you hear the beep Speak now or forever hold your call. 17 August 2007
From the Daily Whale.
An example of what I call
sculpted meter.
