Kaleidoscope Collage

I took the first lines from 10 of my poems and arranged them.


My pupils have shrunk to a size reserved for
Dawn.
If only the sun had a soul (It’d be one step ahead of you. One step ahead)

With a furious pen
I would wreak havoc
(And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?)

As rain slants like mountain slope
You boast a living red
Oh Love,
Hush.

I have seen the doors to heaven

"cool poem... poetry is just words called a poem"... What witty repetition! Oh wait... you just don't know how to write reasonably composed sentences.

The 7th and 8th lines aren't yours! YOU PLAGERIZED W. B. YEATS!!

I actually...like it, whether or not it has a personal meaning to it...words can be beautiful on their own, without even doing anything.

7 and 8 are taken from W.B.Y. however the poem was a concrete work which compared responses to the question "what would you do if you had 24 hours to live" with passages from famous works.

I assure you that I would never sink so low as to dishonor a brilliant writer by plagiarizing. But anonymous, I am glad you recognize the reference. :)
Thank you for the comments.
