Remember
Once again
my favourite time
of year
draws near
Remember, remember
[/font]
12 men[/font]
discontent[/font]
took change
upon themselves
the 5th of November
with 2 score barrels
of powder
as protest
was pointless
the gunpowder treason and plot[/font]
[/font]
if only each of us[/font]
could right a wrong[/font]
wouldn't the world be[/font]
better?[/font]
[/font]
I know of no reason[/font]
[/font]
because as humans[/font]
we each have [/font]
a duty[/font]
to humanity[/font]
[/font]
why the Gunpower treason[/font]
[/font]
so once a year[/font]
we remember[/font]
the idealists[/font]
dreamers[/font]
and visionaries[/font]
who[/font]
[/font]
need never be forgot.[/font]
[/font]
[/font]
Happy Guy Fawkes All.[/font]

Good poem. Very moody and well-composed. The mingling of the classic rhyme with the original verses was inspired.

Thanks, truth is the effect was Kylees's. She has used it a couple of times to great effect and I wanted to see if i could pull it off.
