What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

Where Faith Battles Doubt: Part I

The Battlefield

The surface is serene, just a field
Soft grass, tranquil blue sky, a
Lone blissful cloud on the horizon
Comforting breeze, tempting sunlight
Roses, deepest fragrant red, thriving.
Yet there is a hint of darkness
Almost tangible, hardly visible, a
Veil, covering blackest deception
Caught only by peripheral sight, as a
Dream, perfectly realistic, is soon
Blown apart by impossibilities.

This field is not paradise.

The fluttering veil reveals a
Graveyard
Scorched by countless
Confrontations
The sky, ominous, angry,
Belligerent
Thorns scattered over blossoms,
Bleeding
A slumbering battlefield
Waiting

    Is "the Battlefield" a title of the part, of a piece of the poem?

    but yeah, the imagery is frickin' wicked. the "thorns scattered over blossoms"

    Very good. I especially like that you demonstrate competence with both long and short syntax and have no problem switching between the two.
