THIS IS A LONG POEM ON DEATH, WITH GOOD USE OF WORDS SOME I HAD TO RUSH TO THE DICTIONARY TO READ IF YOU WERE ANYTHING LIKE ME JUST BETWEEN YOU AND I, I TRY TO MAKE MY POEMS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE NOT BECAUSE I'M LAZY BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE SHORT STORIES AND SHORT POEMS DONT BE DISCOURAGED YOU DO HAVE TALENT
What I have written, I have written. I know the language is archaic, and I know that I intended it to be so. A troglodyte is a cavedweller; I was thinking of the allegory of the cave – people chained to the cave who can only see the inside of the cave and take shadows for reality. I have just added the dedication to defend my style. I thought I had lost the manuscript of this poem (as well as 'A Dark Poem') , but found it yesterday. I would like to think that each of my poems is different. (It may not be true, but it is what I would like to think.) I have noticed that many poets on poemhunter have written many poems, every single one on the same theme. Please do not write messages in capital letters; I am not deaf, and not stupid; sentence case is much easier to read.
