Naboo

Analyse the world 'til it explodes
thats what always happens 'twixt my ears
I anticipate a heavy load
shoulders bearing nought but futile fears

ANaLYSE the WORLD til IT exPLODES
THAT'S what ALways HAPPens 'TWIXT my EARS
I anTICipATE a HEAVy LOAD
SHOULders BEARing NOUGHT but FUTile FEARS

  1. Brilliant grasp of trochaic meter, and without sacrificing an ounce of content either. Well done!

    I do, however, STILL think your poems could benefit from some punctuation... And I can't help thinking the likes of "'twixt" and "nought" might be a little archaic and obsolescent for your diction here... :)

  2. Diction, in its original and primary meaning, is the term for a writer or speaker's distinctive choices in vocabulary and style of expression.
