Filaments expired, radiance Vanished, shadows coupled with the night. Sirens Broke the lush summer air, drowned a cricket Symphony, screamed at the dispassionate stars. The towering building shuddered as the first Shells fell. Plate glass windows shattered in their Frames, wood tasted the lust of fire, pink Bricks and whitewashed masonry were defiled By hot ash. The structure's inhabitants Scurried between trembling walls. Children clung Madly to their mothers, eyes wide with fright. Atop the edifice helicopters Lifted from the grey concrete and sliced toward The onrushing enemy. Their metal Talons raked the adversary legions, Tore at endless mulatto lines. Indigo Cannon snorted in reply, broke the stiff Limbed hummingbirds, dashed them to the earth. Swift Battalions overtook a low ridge near The erection; remorselessly butchered Its staunch but few defenders. The strength of The structure's constabulary looked meager Against the swollen ranks. But the building Did not plead for clemency. Wracked decades Past by nuclear fires, pillaged in Earlier years by marauding bands, then Slumbering until this fateful night; so Sure of its security, it knew not Of this fell foe. Deep in the heart of the Pile a radio crackled with the terms: Unconditional surrender. Tense men Vowed to fight till their last breath. Mounted guns Upon the ridge ravaged the edifice. The staunch citizens never acquiesced. *** Storm clouds cloaked the sun at dawn. Nature, loath To be outdone by Adam's progeny, Prepared to lash the celebrating force Upon the ridge. Beyond, the heaps of stone And rock lay silent as the first drops fell. 30 [Each line of the above poem contains exactly ten syllables.

Fish, Bird, man, or beast; all life needs life to live. *** The great ships sliced between the stars. Their honed Sensors picked out a fertile planet. They Swooped in low over an emerald sea. Each craft lowered three capacious sieves; scooped Up seaweed, cod, and salmon. They rushed toward The shore. Along the beach tawny creatures Stared. They began to flee. The fleet closed in. *** One by one the reapers rose, disappeared Into the clouds. Through the afternoon they Had hovered over ivory cities, Until they had sucked them dry. Now only A lone pigeon remained, picking among The ruins. Voluminous abdomens full, The rapacious engines glided away. *** Wherever life has grown there has always Come a day when it was extirpated >From its verdant slumber and consumed. Fish, Bird, man, or beast; all life needs life to live. *** The vessel murmured among the stars. Its Masters were feasting. They were delighted With the last world the leviathan had Plucked from the heavens. The hulk discharged the Rocky core. It dozed in the detritus Of the broken sphere. Suddenly it glimpsed A cruising argosy. Each galleon brimmed With the stuff of harvested worlds. Each was A tasty treat. The steel monster gurgled. Jaws open, it lunged toward the combines. 30 [Each line of the above poem contains exactly ten syllables.
