ecstasy
Pure ecstasy
like I've never
known before
or shall ever
know again
is the gift
I receive
each time
you
fall
asleep
in
my
arms,
your
soft
breath
dancing
gently
up
This is a poem that generates excitement but slowly comes down, as the feeling of the mood shifts from excitement to relaxation. I wrote this because I figured it would be interesting to describe the effects of dancing on people.
sphere
Him
Man is tall,
Strong and all,
Cannot fall,
Man.
This poem is short, but somewhat of a diamond/haiku form to it. It begins with a noun that cannot be identified, but the rest of the poem explains who 'he' is. The poem is defined in shape very similar to a sphere (as the name of the poem), and in accordance with the definition of a sphere; an area of power, control, or influence; domain.

This poem is my favorite one I made because of the shape (it took awhile to make).
Firstly, to explain the title and shape; when you think of the phrase "X-marks the spot" you commonly associate it with pirates and hidden treasure, so I thought it'd be interesting to create the poem in the shape of an X. To maintain its believable appearance as an X, I kept strict repetition in the poem however changing two subjects in each line; Pirate and Crew.
