A kind of poetry

So, I wrote a poem for spnapo.


  1. (April Fools’ Day) “I don’t like poetry. Put up or shut up.” -Meg (demon 2.0), “Reading is Fundamental.”


I don’t like poetry, Meg says.

A poem, she says, has too many tangents.
It twists words looking for rhymes,
Tries too hard to be—plangent.
Like church bells.

Poetry reminds her of clamouring priests
in churches full of hate for her kind.
Women, witches, a hate-feast
Of bitter fools.

Cas says, in the beginning was the Word
Yeah, and they said the Word was God, she scoffs
So put up or shut up

Laughable lovers write poems, Meg points out.
She can’t afford to believe in love,
It’s not what Hell’s about.
Unlike Castiel.

I wield words as weapons, Meg says.

There’s a kind of poetry in that, Cas thinks.

"Tries too hard to be--plangent
Like church bells.": gods that's awesome.

This is so poignant and plainspoken, two of my fave things in poetry (or prose, heh.)

I'm gonna have more to say about why I love it about it later, on the comm. <3

Women, witches, churches...you really grabbed something essential to Meg, to demons in SPN, there...! <3


Also we were talking about your art over in the comments on [livejournal.com profile] spn_bigpretzel. I love [livejournal.com profile] blackrabbit42's icon. (comments)
