I was musing about how vines always climb up (English ivy, anyone?), and this reminded me, somehow, of people's power struggles. Hence, this little short piece that I don't really like but am sharing anyway. And I promise the next poem will be happier and less bleak.

The Vine

Leaves from the vine,
Drifting below,
To fall on the ground,
Resting on the snow.

Flowers bloom and go,
Color once bright.
Now the vine is bare,
Struck by power’s blight.

Creeping onward, up,
Reaching for the sky,
The vine climbs its way,
Though its ladder is a lie.

Tall as they can be,
Reaching forever skyward,
Why do the people moan,
Always wanting higher?

Leaves from the vine,
Drifting below…
Rotten remnants fall on the ground,
Tainting the snow.

What kind of poem is this? A ballad?

Nice writing. Having some English Ivy, and other vines, I liked it. Nice picture you were making of power struggles. Everyone always wanting more until it eventually ruins them.

I wonder what the character limit on this thing is.

A user of this : Thank you! 

Mistress : Just a poem. I don't really try to make my poems a specialized kind, like a ballad. People tell me they're like them, though.

Mr. Zed : No problem. Your spelling is fine. I hope you won't be so bleak for long! But thanks for reading and commenting!
