The Darkened Streets
« on: February 15, 2011, 15:06:29 »
Something I wrote in my free time.

The city that was once forlorn, whose streets
So foreboding, lonely, lost, lifeless. They
Plead for a friend, a lover. I have found
Myself trapped inside the city walls, and
Now I do not want to leave, having come
To love the things I had so recently
Feared.  True, my friends have dangers, but it is
Worth the trepidation to learn of their
Secrets. Wonderful mysteries of a
World deserted of its inhabitants.
ODST is all about switches, isn't it?

Den glider in, Den glider in, Den glider in i mål igen...

That's Night... :/

This + ODST music is epic.

But what are the friends?

Also, I noticed how you capitalized secrets :3
I feel it

I'll let you figure that out. Also, I was writing in iambic pentameter (10 syllables per line), and secrets just got pushed to the next line. And to follow proper form, I capitalized the first word of each line.
