You know what’s crazy? I’m not a poet. I don’t even care to read it much, but I will for a friend. And yet, in book two of Path of Angels, Zadekiel, I gave Zephyr a gift that makes her write poetry. Funny thing to do to a favorite character. I feel like I should have been kinder.
I guess, what I wanted was something that was short and snappy, that held a lot in a few words. It also had to mesh well with Zephyr’s character. Poetry fit the bill perfectly. A great poem can tell a whole story if done well. Could the style used also tell a lot about the writer? Here’s one of Zephyr’s poems and judge for yourself.
They left behind their home
In you they seek the truth
With dark eyes the path lies
Truth revealed when he speaks
Listen please
Thy breath to keep
Less you sleep eternal sleep
