Hands of the unknown write as one in a race against life,
to beat all odds, to impact the hearts of the envious we do not know.
Written to steal the souls of those in anguish,
spoken to calm the hearts of the wistful. As we call out for the fearless, we scream for the perfect.
Quietly love whispers to the lost, and calms those basking in its brilliance
Waiting as we watch the change, as the song of the minstrel brings a sweet smile.
Bravery is in the words, power drips off its very promise.
Eyes all around etched in silver lining of courage watch as life brings strife of all sorts.
Everyday people press onward, everyday life passes us by,
Everyday a sonnet helps a man through the backroads of despair.
Each moment is filled with courage unknown to the enemies, then boom it fills the world up.
Everyday A word, unlike any other may affect you like never before
....Be prepared.
….courage spreads.

I thought that it was a very powerfull peice, that showed strength and character. If you are trying to sound mysterious, then you have exceeded the standards of mystery, but I had a bit of trouble figuring out the meaning. I think it ment to show your bravery, but I am unsure. But I think editing it would take the magic away from the poem, so just keep it the way it is.

You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Erica, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

I really love this write and I wouldn't change a thing. Well maybe ONE thing..this line:
Everyday a sonnet helps a man threw the backroads of despair.

I'd change the threw to through. Unless you were going for throw? Just a suggestion. Great write! Hope you do well on your assignment!!
