Hi! I'm not exactly new here but I finally found the time to log in again after 2 years (and now I think I'm flooding the forums). Yikes.
Anyway, I've been reading some of the poems here and I'd like to share my own. This is a poem I wrote for my Cross Literature class. It's about the Queen of Carthage, lover of Aeneas, from the Greek mythology Aeneid. Advance apology cause it's written by an amateur haha.
I only took a part from my original composition though, so here it is:
The firm grip she held around herself fell away
So did everything and everyone that had made sense
Despite her loveliness, she couldn't make him stay
The life she dreamed with the Trojan hero, a mere pretense
The times with his words, his voice, his warmth, all a blur
And it was finally the day when he chose his divine destiny over her
So was the fate of the queen of Carthage
She was the actress who was set up to break
Her life, her hardwork, the gods turned to a stage
For she was made victim of such a love’s sake
If she were a star, she could’ve been burning bright
And he wrapped around her like the vast night
But the night has passed and day shall come
And she becomes a meteor—falling fast, for he is gone
