This is an email about anything. You asked me to write it for you. The problem inherent in writing like that Is having no object nor clue. I've nothing that calls for my poetry now, No pressure, no stress, and no sound Of rockets and buzzards colliding inside As my brain's rusty sprockets go round. Yes, I am calm, and yes I am cool I write from a place so serene That even the thought of bad news being brought Does nothing to darken the scene. And why, might you ask, have I entered this state, And why does the sun shine so bright? No matter what clouds try to darken my day, Why am I feeling so right? The answer lies out on the table exposed, Not hidden, nor covered, nor slight, But rather in view for all those to see, Those whom I direct to the sight. You are the only one I'll show the way, You're the only for whom it holds weight. You are the reason and you are the rhyme. And You are the one at the table this late. ~A |
Wow, talk about perfect flow and rhythm! Such a sweet poem, very nice writing! I really enjoyed the image in the second stanza as your brain as a machine, and your inner rhyme of "thought" and "brought" in the 3rd, that was nice. Ummmm... do I have anything negative to critique about at all? Be careful ending a line with "weight", because (excuse the explanation :P) it's a very "heavy" word metrically. Ummmm... that is the only thing I could possibly think of being leary of... you've done really great work here, I look forward to reading more! ![]() | Posted on 2004-07-19 00:00:00 | by Siven7 | [ Reply to This ] | |
