Good one, though some sad truth there. And perhaps a spot of sarcasm? ;)

À Votre Sanité

A glass of lemon I shall raise -
here's to the rodent in my brain
who eats away what's left of sane
imagination and devours
beloved seconds and the hours
holding memory that now sours,
once bitten, to bitterness all
that may escape the vermin's gnaw.

I think it means something and I like it.

In the end I decided to go for a true English classic:

Here's my entry, one I've had lying about unfinished for some months.

Alchemy

I want to be a cliché.
The one everybody knows,
But has never seen to stray
Beyond the margin of the page.
I want to be the stereotypical
Stranger in the rain.

The one whose dark coat
Flaps about his leather feet
As if enchanted by odd charms.
Who wanders in the night
When none else would dare
But the insane and the uncalm.

The one who wanders free
Without a torch, or map,
Or track, or any guide.
No compass but himself,
But always comes to find
The place he had in mind.

The one who appears
At the old inn door,
Which creaks as if by cue.
Who draws all the sound
Towards him like iron filings
Towards a magnet,
And like some alchemist,
Turns them into golden silence.

I want to be that stranger
In the thunderous rain of night,
Who lurches to the innkeep,
Knowing madness in his eyes,
Places gold down on the table
And sees his face turn white.

I'm so very, very tempted to read something by Arany János. The rules didn't say the poem had to be in English, right? ;D

Curse you and your pre-emptive brackets preventing me from making a snarky comment about how there are meant to be only 11 men in a football team. Curse you.

28
And just to check, assume you're not doing any screenies?

Ooh, go on then, put me down for the funny one. :P

29
Yis, yis, both of the slams as well. Is there a time limit for the recitation?

Is it too late to enter? I hadn't noticed this going on and just got home today.

If it isn't too late, I hereby sign up for all the writing contests. :P
