I'm going to enter this one, I have an idea. Only time I write things now is for the FWT compo

It's good for that.

After the night

The longer the night, the brighter the day.

I asked "Can I go yet?"
He answered "Quite soon"
So I shuffled my feet
And stared up at the moon.

I asked "Is it time now?"
And he said "No way,
The crowds not arrived
And the cock hasn't brayed."

I said "This is torture",
He replied "Not enough",
And the crowd showed its face,
And I thought of my love.

I asked "Is it time yet?"
And he said "It's near."
And I felt cold inside
But I didn't feel fear.

I asked "Can I go now?"
And he said "Sure thing."
And he opened the trap door
And I dropped and did swing.

I'm cutting it a bit fine here (not that I can compete with Creed Malay or Oliwerko anyway 8)).
So please, I hope you enjoy reading my poem.

Kings of the Earth

supple in limb.
spreading arms
over minor
minions.

attired,
in summer finery;
heads full of hair.

crowns of
rubies and
emeralds,
and
at
autumn's
approach,
golds.

yet in old age,
naked,
they chant:

skylark sing!
and brooklet ring!
then crown me,
Reborn King!

Aww... I was sure I asked for an extension. Oh well. Definitely Creed this time. Not that AG wasn't too damn close.
