Jane Eyre Inspired

Sunday December 9, 2012: This blog (as you might have noticed from previous posts, all relating to English) was originally created as a project for my Grade 12 English class. Many old posts were deleted because they simply didn't "fit" with the new theme of the blog when, maybe a month ago, I decided to brush off the dust and build it back up again. I still, however, write poetry and so here's a poem that I wrote during this class after reading Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre)

Jane: "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.” 



Jane's Air

Shadows shudder and brush her body,
mingle with moonlight's gleam.
"Plain," Pretty's
whims whisper.
Yet there’s something in her air
that speaks to me.

Fire’s flames
bleed in blood, dance like dares in his eyes—
No matter how many axiom arrows fly
she’ll not be led by lies.
“Clever!” Cupid cries in shame:
“What’s a game with no heart to blame?”

Shadows shudder and brush her body,
mingle with moonlight's gleam.
"Plain," Pretty's
whims whisper…
Yet there’s something in Jane’s air
that means truth to me.
