A thousand pieces Of my glass heart Lay shattered at my feet A pool of blood Becomes the tears My heart was forced to weep You took my heart In your hands Never to let go But then you took The fragile glass And smashed it On the ground below So now they lay shattered The thousands of pieces Of my heart Now they lay scattered A thousand pieces apart… |
I too agree the rhyming scheme can be easier to follow. However it might take away from the originality of the piece. You took a subject that has been beat to death by multitudes of poets and poet wannabes and created something fresh and different with the glass metaphor. I liked that alot. very well done your friend Ben | Posted on 2005-04-04 00:00:00 | by BenCollier | [ Reply to This ] | very very well done. the only critique i have is preference...the way you have the lines divided up makes the reading choppy. if that's your intent, then leave it, but if you want it to read a little smoother then combine the lines and establish a formal rhyme scheme. | | Posted on 2005-04-04 00:00:00 | by treybur | [ Reply to This ] | Shit.. excuse the laguage but i so know what ur saying, a beautiful portrayl of the hopeless romantic and the trials life casts upoin him always doomed to give the heart away only to have it shattered totally... the rhyme scheme beautifully suited to the mood and the flow of the ideas drive the heart close to tears beautiful poem :) | | Posted on 2005-04-04 00:00:00 | by Shadows Life | [ Reply to This ] | |
