Fallen Hope -- The First of a Trilogy
By rilLie
11 October 2006
as usual.. done during science class when sir was ranting on and on about the importance of the trees in the La Mesa Dam. we had a field trip yesterday on the place and it was amazing! anyway.. there's a housing project threatening the water supply of six million or so people in metro manila and this would be a trilogy. enjoy! and as someone famously requested me to do, i'm writing in this in normal, black text. enjoy!

Well put over riLie. It makes you think: There is such a vast area of the earth's surface that can't be used for human habitation, yet people have to decide between areas to conserve water and housing for families.
And aint it great!!!

Loving the black font. Poem is good as well, really liked your choice of subject. I thought your use of half-rhymes in this was good although in some places the true rhymes seemed a little forced. I find that relaxing the rhyme schemea little makes the poem more interesting, if it is too symmetrical it can get a little monotonous for the eye and the ear. Very interesting and thought provoking. 
 
Well done
