Sigrid (part 1)

You thought yourself political; Your brain set to logical. But you know-o-o-o That you’re so-o-o-o much more When you do us a favour sweet, And you put rhythm in your beat–   Oh, whoah-oh! (shots fired!) You got the hype, sis, you are doing it right, sis! Oh, whoah-oh (shots fired!) You are doing it right, sis!   You don’t need me to spell it out loud– You’re riding high, you’re a hit– Oh-Oh –you’re doing it your way! You’re coming straight outta Norway! High-five, a no nonsense life! Be pure, no need to run with fake friends! Everyone knows how that ends!   You’re no wannabe! You’re no wannabe! Shots fired!

(Oh-oh my goodness, you’re really awesome!)   Across the world you cast your light. We’re all safe as mountains, while you’re dynamite! For you know-o-o-o That you’re po-o-o-o-etic, Nobody dares speak out against your shtick.   Oh, whoah-oh! (shots fired!) You got the hype, sis, you are doing it right, sis! Oh, whoah-oh (shots fired!) You are doing it right, sis!   You don’t need me to spell it out loud­– You‘re riding high, you’re a hit– Oh-Oh –you’re doing it your way! You’re coming straight outta Norway! High-five, a no nonsense life! Be raw, and let no stranger stride Into town, and kill your vibe.   Not like in the movies! Not like in the movies! Shots fired!

(Oh-oh my goodness, you’re really awesome!)   How the we– How the weather– How the weather is nice, girl! (In your soul!) How the we– How the weather– How the weather is nice, girl! (In your soul!) How the we– How the weather– How the weather is nice, girl! (In your soul!) How the we– How the weather– How the weather is nice, girl! (In your soul!) You don’t need me to spell it out loud­– You‘re riding high, you’re a hit– Oh-Oh –you’re doing it your way! You’re coming straight outta Norway! High-five, a no nonsense life! Be pure, no need to run with fake friends! Everyone knows how that ends! You’re no wannabe! You’re no wannabe! Shots fired!

(Oh-oh my goodness, you’re really awesome!)

Who Will Cry When I Die?

A collaboration with @emipoemi!

I asked the sky, "Who will cry when I die?"

 And to my surprise, I received a reply.

A man with a fishing rod reeled in the sun,

Who spoke for the sky and said, "Everyone." 

However, I made a grimace so wry, 

For though seemingly wise, his reply seemed a lie, 

For I’m but a shadow concealed in the night, 

None know I exist or read what I write. 

The wind whistled back, "You just don't know it,

 But you'll be the Galaxy's greatest poet,

Lighting the corners of space with your rhymes,

 Paving a poetic pathway through time!" 

My rhythm is dull, though, my rhymes are dry! 

I’m old-fashioned! Outlandish! Awry! 

So why am I thus to this great poet be? 

No poem of mine can be called poetry. 

 I screamed at the sky, looking sharply away 

In shame. "The universe whispers your name," 

The sun beamed, "We believe in you, why can't you?" 

 I replied, "I just don't see how it could be true." 

And I straight understood to ne’er think of dying, 

For no matter the person there’ll e’er be someone crying.

 The sky or the wind or the man in the sun, 

Yet with faith in the future, life has merely begun.

Cliffhanger

A fool will claim all truth to know: We exist in predicted plight, None dare tell Fate which way to go. Whether the course runs fast or slow, "Ah- the end is clear in sight!" A fool will claim all truth to know. A tension that begins to grow, Leading lovers toward a fight; None dare tell Fate which way to go. "For they were destined for that show Of passion in its day and night;" A fool will claim all truth to know.

The spring brings rain, and winter, snow, If everything is just and right; None dare tell Fate which way to go.

Chaos can disrupt the flow, Leaving questions at its height; A fool will claim all truth to know, But none dare tell Fate which way to go.

Inspired by a prompt from emipoemi. This was my very first attempt at a villanelle and it was quite the challenge, so I hope I didn't disgrace the form!
