| Please keep discussion in the other thread. Lets fill this one with just the Quatrains themselves. |

My attempts.
I
From the old there will be new
A great lamentation erupts
From the many come the few
Their ceasing end abrupt.
II
The great beast rises
The city set aflame
No quarter given
The world never the same
And because I think just about anything can be a "prediction", my annual nursery rhyme entry
III
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again! |

Brilliant heat in a cage
Secreting to plebeian rest
Their million steed unpaid
Drinking from holes afresh
May or may not have something to do with the writer's strike...
Empty Empyrean promises
pledging perished nemeses
nettle Nemean foolishness,
Fie inflaming embitterance!
May or may not anticipate powerful forces making promises that come to nothing, but in fact exacerbate the problem. |

| My silence speaks louder than words. I'm saving all of the doom and destruction for the last quarter. Better start stocking up on duct tape. |
