Under the stars upon the wind

0 posted 2002-01-13 08:38 PM



Within the crystal spectrum
beyond the freezing cold
found within a world of wonder
but once again alone.
Shocked beneath the surface
numbed by endless lies
this is what can happen to
all those that dream
when no one hears their cries..

(any suggestions on a title? I was thinking
"Fall of the Believers" but I really don't have
a clue!)

Freedom is not Free (Korean War memorial)

Something in this poem made me read it over and over again. I think it's the picture of freezing water beneath a layer of ice. I read a short story about that a few dayz back, and it made me rather reflective.

This layer of ice over water makes one wonder if there is life beneath the surface. It seems to also signify a stagnant period for the water beneath to rejuvenate. So, fear not when your dreams are not heard, for it's a matter of time. As long as you persist, and continue to dream, you may find them fulfilled one day.

This is excellent work..

I really liked the images you portray.  Very dismal... I like those types of images.  And the metre you use is fantastic.  I loved the way it flowed, but the second-to-last line doesn't work... the words fit perfectly, but the rhyme scheme gets off, or something, and the poem loses it's flow.  That's the only critique I have for you here...

As for the title, I think "Fall of the Believers" is a very good one.

Well done!  And much enjoyed!

Great poem indeed, short and right to the point! The only title I can come up with is, "Deaf Trap". (Don't ask me why, but that's just what pops into my noggin') Don't matter tho, a poem is a poem with or without the title I think.
