Author's Note- I wrote this on a slow day and I was having a hard time coming up with ideas. I developed a journal entry from about a year ago. The Legend in this is Brett Favre. In this piece I am encouraging fans not to lose hope just because Brett is gone and to accept Aaron Rodgers. I don't write poems very often and I am not very experienced with them. Please comment and tell me if there is anything I could improve on it because I am not too sure about it.
The Legend has Gone, a Hero Betrayed us
All Hope seems Dim, Our Era Seems To be Over
He left us in the Dark, With only His Own Future in Mind
Of Fame and Fortune, and much Wanted Attention
Be that way, Traitorous Champion
Soon You will Discover, You are Nothing without Your Team
Do not lose Hope, Open your Eyes
If you just Look You'll see the Light in this Darkness
The Hope in this Time of Despair
There is Another, Perhaps even Greater
Who will Lead us to Victory Again
Just believe, Don't Follow the Lost One
Do Not let The Darkness Swallow You
Hold on to the Last Hope, the one to be Far Greater
Be Patient, the Time will come When We Strike Again
The Thunder Will Settle, These Purple Stains will Come Off
There will be a new, Far Greater Era
If you just Patiently wait for the Light to come
Wow that is great. I love the part where it says The thunder will settle, These purple stains will come off.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming the purple stains are for the vikings. And if you ask me Aaron Rodgers will become a far better quarterback than Brett Farve ever will be.
i liked how you didn't mention the packers or the vikings except when he should remove the purple stains. It was like you were listening to brett's conscience. It was a pretty good poem considering you don't do poems
ReplyDeleteTony, with all the football talk in the air lately, I can see why you would be inspired to write this piece. It's quite good. You should consider submitting it to somewhere for publishing.
ReplyDeleteWow...this is amazing. I am speechless.
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! It's so deep, and creative, too! You really should go get it published in a newspaper or something. I'm sure they would publish it. I've got to show this to my dad.
ReplyDeleteYou know that was really good. I love how you portrayed that you were a packers fan without telling people. It was really creative even though I can't say agree with the purple stains part. This was really thoughtful and with the packers in the super bowl I can tell why you wrote it.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is awesome. It makes total sense too. Even if you wouldn't have told us that it was Brett Favre, I still could've guessed that. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteP.S. It would be nice if you turned off word verification.
