Wuthering Heights,
The ghastly moors,
Brutal fights,
And stone-carved floors.
Cathy is torn,
Who shall she pick?
Edgar the one who originally was a foe,
Or Heathcliff the one who steeps too low?
In the end it was always the fiend,
Back and forth the tumult blows,
Even in death Cathy is torn
And from her death a child was born.
All was not lost from this birth,
In fact there was a lot of mirth;
Cathy’s child unites the families.
Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange,
Cathy’s ghost roams ever so strange;
Wuthering Heights,
The brutal moors,
Ghosts lingering forever more.
Hey. My poem is an ABC poem inspired by Cinder. Please excuse any typos because I wrote this on my iTouch. I'm one worth the punctuation thing, though. Here goes nothing:
Although I have no
Bones, I am still human.
Cyborg, you call me.
Dysfunctional, you say.
Even though my body has machinery,
Feelings still exist inside me.
Guard you're children from me.
Ha! I'm just a teenage girl.
I mean, maybe not so normal. But it's
Just me. Just me. You
Know me. I'm the girl who fixes.
Lights, pads, hovers. You name it.
Motors. I fixed a motor once.
Now, do you remember me?
Or do you just choose to forget me?
Perhaps you're scared of me. Well,
Quit it! I'm human, too.
Really, I am. I had two parents.
So what! You say. You are....
Too many things, really. I'm a--I'm--
Unsure. I'm a cyborg lunar princess.
Vampires could have been better.
Well, maybe not. I don't know. I'm a
Xerox. A machine. But really?
Yes. No. No. I'm a human being with
Zeal. Zeal for me. For my machinery. For my prince.
