Requiem,
In the end, only the dead shall remain;
One man, one soul, one will to Defile;
A single guide that can stop this Wall of Pain;
An alone soul from the Shadow Isle.
Free me from the pleasures of this flesh Cocoon;
Guide our feeble souls with your beautiful voice;
Lay Waste upon thy enemies on this beautiful moon;
Following your song in this rhythmic rejoice.
I ask for forgiveness for all my sins;
I ask for a guide to bring me salvation;
I ask for thyself when your pilgramage begins;
I ask for thyself out of desperation.
I ask for a single wish in my postmortem; I ask for thyself; please bring forth Requiem.
Author Note: More effective if typed line per line, for quick communication with your team’s Karthus.
My only criticism would be that while your rhyme structure is accurate, and the ending couplet is excellent, it does not have the correct syllabic stress alternation to make it a true Shakespearean sonnet
I’m not smart enough to do that, at least it’s a C- Poem right ?
Flashbacks to the term “Iambic Pentameter” from school.
On my deathbed, I want a full lecture of every esoteric fact I’ve learned from education because ain’t no other methodology makes my life flash before my eyes as vividly.
