Normally I come into these threads and post not entirely serious poems, or I write one off the cuff and post it straight away, normally a silly one. This is mine, actually too >>19159977 based on a comment I made in another thread that I thought had a funny idea behind it (and no one gave me a >you for it, which disappointed me very much).

This one in the image is not silly though, not on purpose at least. I never post serious things. I was very pleased for a couple of minutes after I wrote it, and then I thought, My God, that's emo as fuck. But still I love the title of it, and the rhyme of the title with the first stanza, gold/sold, and the half rhyme of soul/sold and their alliteration.

I'm in two minds about poems which have line breaks after just a word or two, consistently. Something about it seems very feminine to me. I don't know.
