I sharpen my sword On the whetstone of my old blunt life To take a leap Into uncharted worlds, Of hope and chance, Of truth, no more lies, To tell you things; To say words that were once Left unsaid.
I wrote this up basically as a homework for English, the idea coming from the word ‘whet’ which the teacher gave us. I guess it was just experimenting with ideas and words that I had milling around in my head for some time. For the first time ever i feel I’ve written something Redbubble worthy. Possibly.
Edit: Your poem is absolutely awesome nonetheless.
he said we can use ‘whet’ as well because it was nearby and I asked if I could- it was one of the ones where he told us other ones. So I sort of… developed it.

I’m loving the poem – it’s been a while since I have read some good poetry. I love the energy and positivity conveyed! Personally I couldn’t have done anything with “whey” – too dry a topic.

He gave us the word whey, actually…
