Epic? I tried. Dno

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?

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. Very Happy

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. Wink

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. Very Happy

Wow, thank you. I love your interpretation of the old English part. tehe

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.
