Security Breach
I’ve heard they can smell fear.
How can you hide when nervous
sweat hounds you, every stammer
pounding it closer to the surface?
Every pore
a breach in security
A breach in security.
A gap in the bars.
No Siren.
O Holy Calm!
Hast thou abandoned thy companion?
Rogue sentinel,
Traitorous coward!
Respiratory hurricane,
Gale force wheeze.
Breathing eradicated.
by your absence
O Holy Calm!
Hast thou abandoned thy companion?
Hast thou abandoned thy companion
in the face of mere fear? |

 | March 27th, 2007 at 05:04pm I really like it... especially with the use of the semi-old english "hast thou... thy" It really adds an interesting effect to the poem.
Good job.  |

 Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 4161 | March 28th, 2007 at 02:08pm There was something very lyrical about it, which I thought made it very accessible.
A very typical Panda poem, if you don't mind me saying.
And I liked how the older English gave it a certain feeling of... regression, I suppose, or that panic would transcend time and not care who it affected. If that makes sense. I am, of course, rambling, as usual.
And I loved that first line. Brilliantly engaging.  |

| March 28th, 2007 at 05:50pm Wow, thank you. I love your interpretation of the old English part.
I actually thought of it as lyrics after I'd finished it when I read it over. If I can get my brother to sing, I may use it for one of my songs or something. |
