a longing rests in calloused hands
  his churning reverie
a daylight myth whose summer's breach
  recalls those magma creams
he swoons below a silent breath
  and meets the light halfway.

November the sixth.


I am trying to get better at writing poetry. I am very excited about reading your art.

first of welcome to pip, secondly I see you have alot of raw talent, yet I believe your being shy in reaching your true potenltial or at least showing it to us, so come on hand it over  . This is a excelent piece short and it certanly sparks the mind to ponder on your words, I must admit I read it a couple of times to fully appreciated it. I hope to see a longer more elaborated piece from you, best of luck.

I see the darkness coming all is bleak...

Very well done. Welcome to PIP. Can't say as I understand this completely, but it sounds good from my corner of the world. Seems you already know someone around here huh? Ain't love grand?  

I look forward to more.

Firstly, I'd like to welcome you to PIP! ^_^ I hope you become addicted to here as much as some people here have *cough* ^^;
Speaking of addictions...
*realizes that has nothing to do with anything*
Guh.
Anyways...your poem.

"a longing rests in calloused hands
  his churning reverie"
A churning reverie...beautifully said. It's almost like a beautiful thing wrapped within something not quite as pretty, ne? ^_^;

"a daylight myth whose summer's breach
  recalls those magma creams"
I like your metaphor of daylight. I have to admit though...the "magma creams" part reminded me of ice cream...o_O; Oh dear...

"he swoons below a silent breath
  and meets the light halfway.""
I'm trying to interpret what this means...*thinks* A very abstract thought. I'm just trying to decipher it...*likes those kind of poems* ^_^
I think you did an extremely good job with this one, and I'm impressed as this is your first post. It's nice to see something different on teen. You definately have a spark! I look forward to seeing more from you. By the way, I like your name. ^___^ hehehe.

I enjoyed your first poem and surely hope for more. The style was much different than usual, but very well taken. I liked it.

tanya this was wonderful!..but i had no idea what you were talking about . perhaps if i read it over and over and over again i might begin to understand.. i loved the imagery you used though- very vivid ( but too complex for the three hardworking dust particles in my skull )

oh and my manners have begun to kick in:

Welcome Girly!

i REALLY REALLY hope you stay and share more. YOU'RE GOOD!

       

  

BUM!
