Posted: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 Word Count: 76 Summary: Before you all move on to the next exercise....wait for me!! I've finally managed to produce something for the 'Metre Exercise'. I think it will be pretty obvious to everyone where the rythm comes from and maybe some of the sentiment is the same? In fact some of the words are the same too....but don't worry there is a new angle.. |
Nobody heard her, the mermaid,
While there she sat laughing:
My song is the sound of the grave
Can’t you hear the waves rising?
So sweet, she keeps up her singing
Though all are dead
The continent has shifted east the deep gave way,

Oh, no no no, it was my voice calling
(Still the siren kept laughing)
You did not know me, the power of my song
And the sound of waves rising.
