To love and be a poet,-- ‘tis a curse!-- To look at her, and what is more to see! Incapable to write a single verse,-- Oh February, what you’ve done to me! You have achieved perfection on this night. Among the poets born in your embrace, Victor Hugo and Pasternak have tried But both fell short of capturing her grace. Portray her beauty?-- I dare not attempt To capture what I dream when lacking sleep. And thus I stand, in silence, in contempt-- "Oh, February -- to get ink and weep...” I wrote this for a birthday of a close friend (which happens to be on Valentine's Day), who was also my first love. The last line is a direct quote from a poem by Pasternak. |

Yessss.... This was awesome! The way you took Pasternak's work and placed it in the poem was great. Your close friend is truly lucky to have one like you. My friends do not write poems much, let alone understand the meanings I place in mine. Great job my friend, you have a wonderful piece here! "WRITING IS EASY.

Your friend is one lucky person, to have someone like you. I loved your poem, especially the meaning I got out of it.  ~Kristi Lynn "Why does no one sees how hard I cry?" -Me |
