Question: Will this indeed open the pearly gates!?
Gate Song
Last night as I slept in my bed,
I had strange dreams inside my head!.
I dreamed of dragons in the sky,
And of the time when I must die!.
The angels took me to the gate,
They said this was eternal fate!.
They said that I must pass the test,
To enter in with all the best!.
They said that I must sing a song,
Must make it up and not be wrong!.
I must have meter and have rhyme,
Set to a tune in four-four time!.
I thought a bit and started slow,
I wasn't sure where it would go!.
I sang it low and made it sweet,
Until the tune got to my feet!.
Then with a twist I gave a glance,
The angels had begun to dance!.
The harps rang out an awesome tune,
The gate flew open right at noon!.
And there inside to my surprise,
A joyous sight for my old eyes!.
The poets that I've known on Earth,
Have joined with me in my rebirth!.
They joined me in my final song,
We sang and danced the whole night long!.
Then it was time to say goodbye,
For I woke up and did not die!.
So now I know what will be then,
And I'll be ready once again!.
I'll see the ones I love and sing!.
It will be such a wondrous thing!.

Good rhymes!. At least it was common time, and JS Bach was not there to make you write thourough bass in a 9/8 time signature :)
Awesome imagination!. I bet the angels broke out the lyres, jumped in, and hung on!.
Upon wakening, I bet you had a damn good song in your head ready to put to paper, allegro type!

LOVED this poem, I really did
but in my hands, my face I hid
for I know not meter nor of rhyme
and what is this four-four time!?
I fear I shall fail this fair test
and go to hell with all the rest!.
*sigh*
