Oh Weary Crier
October 15, 2011
Oh weary crier,
For why have you not cried your last tear
What pain have you felt to make you feel so low, my dear
May I be in your heart, oh tortured soul
To guide you, save you, love you, for I take no toll
Only listen, your lullaby won’t be your cries to sleep
Long ago and soon to come, precious memories for you to keep
What passion do I wish to ignite
For you to stand up with all your might
That hungry feeling
Are you seeing?
Oh weary crier,
May your last tear end tonight
© Katie S., Pearland, TX

You sure about that? Because writing a poem that can keep up with the standards this one set would be mighty difficult! This is great, definitely one of the better free-verse poems that I've read on this site. It was very sweet and my favorite part was EVERTHING. It has some missing punctuation marks, some commas and question marks that should have been there. Plus we ought to complain to TI, I keep trying to give it TEN stars, but it won't let me. This must be fixed!
