An awesome song, from one of my favorite bands. The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful, and I have added them below the video. I know this band may not be everyone’s cup of tea, indeed it is a minority….but I find they suit a secret part of me well, and their music is unique, speaking to me on an honest and human level. Actually, I have written a handful of poems while playing them in the background, if you can believe that. 
If it’s not to your liking, cool. If it is, very good. But I think we all agree, the lyrical verse is quite stunning.
I also wrote a haiku, which was inspired by this song. Enjoy.
Haiku:
Standing at the precipice my eyes behold
sky shedding the cloak of twilight
as dawn’s first rays touch the horizon.
Spring won’t come, the need of strife
To struggle to be freed from hard ground
The evening mists that creep and crawl
Will drench in the dew and so drown
I’m the green man
The green man
Sol in prime sweet summertime
Cast shadows of doubt on my face
A midday sun, its caustic hues
Refracting within the still lake
Cast shadows of doubt on my face
A midday sun, its caustic hues
Refracting within the still lake
Autumn in her flaming dress
Of orange, brown, gold fallen leaves
My mistress of the frigid night
I worship pray to on my knees
Winter’s breath of filthy snow
Befrosted paths to the unknown
Have my lips turned true purple
Life is coming to an end
So says me, me wiccan friend
Nature coming full circle
I’m the green man
Winter’s breath of filthy snow
Befrosted paths to the unknown
Have my lips turned true purple
Life is coming to an end
So says me, me wiccan friend
Nature coming full circle
I’m the green man
The green man
Befrosted paths to the unknown
Have my lips turned true purple
Life is coming to an end
So says me, me wiccan friend
Nature coming full circle
I’m the green man
The green man
GORGEOUS!

The words are really creative in describing the seasons. The music is esoteric/new wave sounding. I could live with it but i couldn’t write listening to it. it would distract my thought process. But now a day that’s easy to distract.
LOL….Yes, I guess I am a little strange when it comes to what I can write to….I once wrote a love poem to a grunge song…. lol…..thanks for stopping by……
Well i liked it a whole lot! Especially with your Haiku leading in, and the words being printed below…i am feeling it, thanks Celeste, your heart always shines the brightest!
Wendell, you never cease to surprise me, and that is no easy feat….thanks so much for all the love and support you give…..your light too shines out bright for all to see….I appreciate your interest and for the warm comment……
Great poem containing grand things.

So glad to see you Deb…. I have missed your presence here, I really have! I have been working mostly on romantic short stories( I think you will enjoy them!
) and am really coming into my own….thanks so much for your comment….your words touched me and made me smile….thanks so much….. <3
Very good… aren’t Haikus addicting? I love them.
Type O used to me one my favorites! I was recently triggered to listen to them again, what a fabulous joy to hear this song today. Big Smile.
Their lyrics are always amazing.
“sky shedding the cloak of twilight” beautiful stanza, great haiku!
