A model of poetry i love using, a set of Haiku's detailing a story or some such other thing. This i made while working this morning, after someone made a comment about a corporate ladder and the behavior of some people.

Snakes and ladders:

They were spitting from the balcony rail
A poison burns on still
Walk before the ladder on the hill

Round it do we tie our thoughts
Poison never leaves a trace
The knot withers thread bare of lace

Rung for rung I climb the span
Poison will make more demands
Chilling bone turns white to alabaster
