Is melody related to the spell chick?

Question

*****

ROGER OF TARSUS

HAD A NIGHTMARE

Where is this place

I've been brung’d to

with icy fog

I can’t see through

What is the time

I mean, the hour

can I recall

the Coach d’Bower

Is that fire

I can see

burning through

what’s left of me

Kneeling down

beside the gate

I need to know

what is my fate

A haggard hand

points down on me

to wait right here

for eternity

*****

Answer 1

Can't move on and getting burnt alive waiting.  Sounds like deadlines for books and life!  lol  Nice flow.

Answer 2

Your melody is spot-on

Answer 3

"Kneeling down

beside the gate

I need to know

what is my fate"

I love this poem TD......especially the last two stanzas...they are great...I shall note them down on my diary at the end of this night. That 'haggard hand' and 'eternity' seems very significant....waiting and eternity.

Was reading Poe's 'Fall of Usher' and I am scared. Art and the beauty of horror!!

Answer 4

Horrids - to have to wait - in one spot - for eternity?? The lines "burning through what’s left of me" - sounds like the remnants of cremation ♥

Answer 5

h**l indeed, hopefully the haggard hand will lighten up for you.

Answer 6

We don't always HAFTA listenta Spell Chick. She never wants us to have any fun!!

EDIT: Not to mention the horror of beauty.

Answer 7

Well, it's not fair. Writing things like this and letting poor foreigners like me read them. My English is going down the drain. Is this a re-write or am I dreaming? I seem to recognize it. Or maybe it is just you I recognize.

True enough, the "haggard hand" is striking.

Answer 8

d**n!  Thought it was the fickle finger...now you tell me it's the haggard hand.  Off to revise my note book.

Answer 9

Talk about Damascus Road!  Every now and then we all could use the old knocked on the @$$ routine, and wait as our sight returns when they bring us round before the next play.
