Once there was nothing left in me,
But now I wander, wild and free,
I am a stallion in the storm,
Sleeting snow and fading form,
I am the anger that I see.
No more for me the open lea,
I dared stand up and disagree,
And when they asked me to conform,
There was nothing.
I plod through mountainside debris,
And narrow valleys filled with scree,
I feel my emptiness transform,
I hate my home, once safe and warm,
And when I plunged into the sea.
There was nothing.
But now I wander, wild and free,
I am a stallion in the storm,
Sleeting snow and fading form,
I am the anger that I see.
No more for me the open lea,
I dared stand up and disagree,
And when they asked me to conform,
There was nothing.
I plod through mountainside debris,
And narrow valleys filled with scree,
I feel my emptiness transform,
I hate my home, once safe and warm,
And when I plunged into the sea.
There was nothing.

Another prompt by =nycterent.
Let me tell you, when I searched dA for "Nothing left in me for you" I did not expect the dominant theme to be horses
The images used for inspiration in this one were [link] by ~ThraxzGirl and [link] and [link] by *devils-horizon
The prompt was
1. Take the last line from your most recent poem.
2. Search for this line on dA and pick an image.
3. Write a poem by putting the line and image together in this format: "I was [last line], but now I am [image]." Don't worry if it's a strange sentence/pairing. You can make it make sense in the body of the poem.
For a digital cookie: If you're looking for a challenge, try doing it in the rondeau form.
Technically the last line in my last poem was "And break, I do" but when I searched that I got no results so I went for the second last.
I'm finding it interesting playing with traditional fixed forms. It's not something I'd really done much before, but I'm seeing a lot of sense in the way they're layed out and in how different ones are for different types of feelings, etc.

Irony is probably the greatest strength of this poem. You made plunging into the sea sound like 'routine', nothing out of the ordinary, like it was some kind of a duty thrust upon you. I like that. =]
