Mainly since I can, here is another poem, this time written (for a competition) as a review in verse of a film, In a Better World:

* Contains spoilers *


Christian's Journey



A boy who played with pipe-bombs

Nearly kills his friend -

Christian's the bomber,

Saved by his friend's dad:

Elijah's not in pieces

(Though he thought him dead)

And, on the towering silo,

He need not seek his end.



Returning from his coldness

At his mother's death

(He'd made himself heroic -

His father's sternest judge),

The future is reopened,

The truth can be revealed,

And Christian learns of feelings

That his hate concealed.
