Failure Poem by Udaya R. Tennakoon
Failure
Batter my heart and shatter my gutter
Hammer my past and scatter my matter
Take the dagger and bore my header
Take your power and be a my killer
Picture you painted nailed on wall
Prank and yelp are framed in soul
Panic and pain moan on hill
Role play cheats and survives will
Sea is clam and life is quiet
Inside flames and burns a lot
I am your traitor and sin of that
Useful life but useless nut
..............the first stanza is really great.....enjoyed reading this poem....

....be a my killer .................i realize (from your bio) that english is not your first (nor second? ?) language, but i do commend the effort to write using it. i question the use of a in this phrase. it seems to me you don't want both a and my. and gutter? gut? and header? head? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - the 2nd and 3rd stanzas puzzle me even more. but thanks for sharing. perhaps a poet note would have helped me? bri :)
