The ritual begins with solitude,
For safety's sake and clarity of soul.
My honor, like my ring, must be renewed
Before I can return to my patrol,
A dictate of Green Lantern etiquette.
My lantern now will make my power whole.
The moment lantern touches amulet
I feel the Oan might, and hear its call.
An emerald fire surrounds my silhouette.
The power I receive does not enthrall;
I gladly serve the Corps of my own will.
And freely give our war on crime my all.
But with a duty that I must fulfill,
The lantern, once again, must be concealed,
Returning to its secret domicile.
Now that soul and amulet are healed,
Beware, all crooks, the power that I wield!
For safety's sake and clarity of soul.
My honor, like my ring, must be renewed
Before I can return to my patrol,
A dictate of Green Lantern etiquette.
My lantern now will make my power whole.
The moment lantern touches amulet
I feel the Oan might, and hear its call.
An emerald fire surrounds my silhouette.
The power I receive does not enthrall;
I gladly serve the Corps of my own will.
And freely give our war on crime my all.
But with a duty that I must fulfill,
The lantern, once again, must be concealed,
Returning to its secret domicile.
Now that soul and amulet are healed,
Beware, all crooks, the power that I wield!
And thus it ends: the last of my Green Lantern poems. See the folder description for why I wrote them. Google if you aren't familiar with the Lantern Corps...

This is my favorite out of all of the ones you've made! There are some parts that are hard to read aloud because it doesn't flow quite as smoothly (though I do love the rhyme scheme that's in here) but that is probably because I'm used to trying to read poems with iambic pentameters. The 10 syllables, etc etc.. There isn't anything wrong with your poetry though so .. I hope that my comment isn't wasted or that it sounds rude or anything..!
