National Poetry Month: Zelda Cinquains

Before

I first set out

the old man said to me,

"It's dangerous to go alone.

Take this."

This week, for National Poetry Month, I tried to tackle of the Legend of Zelda series in a number of cinquains. 

National Poetry Month: Okami Chouka

Sun Song

The stagnant water

and the windless air cry out

in death-choked voices.

Their words float up before me:

“Where has the sun gone?”

“Why is the land over-run

with so much darkness?”

Maybe the bleak canvas needs

rejuvenation.

Perhaps a single brushstroke

could change our fortune.

National Poetry Month: Ghost Trick Villanelle

April is National Poetry Month here in America! To celebrate, I'm writing a new form poem every week. I'm trying forms I have not yet attempted in order to see how they work out. I think I'm also going to try to incorporate themes from my favorite video games into them as well. I feel like writers often sing the praises of their favorite books, but forget other mediums. The stories in video games are oftentimes just as well-crafted, deep, and moving as the most praise-worthy novel, so I want to use this month as a little shout-out to this oft-forgotten medium.
