A word within rhythm, lost within rhyme
Taken with care, yet faded in time
Cold and unwilling, mild and meek
Whatever the feeling, it's you that I seek.
Penned and then pencilled, strokes within lines
Watching and waiting for some kind of sign
As memory fades and experience beckons
A story unfolds in a matter of seconds.
Crumbled and worn, then thrown in the fire
Crackling 'til dawn when the sunlight inspires
The mind and the eye, which ever comes first

What you don't really know is that this rhyme is cursed.

WHA-HA!!! GOTCHA!

Anyway, nifti. I'll be back later with something worse. ~_^

That last line comes straight out of nowhere! Wonderful! Excellent meter all the way through, you didn't skip a beat. Well done.
The overall content of the piece is alright, not exactly my cup of tea but executed brilliantly nonetheless.

Be proud for being published is a job well done in itself. I can see why they'd do such a thing.

Imagination=nostalgia for the past, the absent; it is the liquid solution in which art develops the snapshots of reality.

I can't help but laugh at that last line, it was a bit of a suprise, the rest of the poem was wonderfully executed though, a great read at the end of a long day

oh and congratulations on getting published
