I pierce the overflowing night with a heart that is tired with beating. Down under my consuming blankets once again I am retreating. It feels so good to hide from the cutting wind. It gets harder and harder to begin again. I am sorry a hundred times. A piece of hair falls on my face...softly. I felt the stabbing knives com in place of your caress. All I see are my passive eyes-deadly staring at the days to come. As bullets rip through my skin-I never try to run. It has started to feel good as they rip me wide open. In my poems I have a habit of never clearly defining the subject matter.I feel that when you make it too obvious , It cheapens what you are writing into nothing more than a personal narrative.In my poetry-I focus on the raw emotion and the images I feel.I think most of the time they create enough of a picture to work with by themselves.My question is-Are they TOO sketchy? I would really appriciate some imput on this.Thank you! |

too sketchy? nah. i find that when the subject is not clearly defined, and the poem consists of many (random?) descriptive lines, that leaves the piece totally open for interpretation. in this poem, i observe the emotions/feelings of being trapped, which branches out to guilt, fear, and the like; and there is also sorrow, peace, and a wierd acceptance of torturous pain (perhaps because that's all the poem knows). this is just an overview at a glance, and i am only one person with a limited poetic education. who knows how everyone else will see this?--and that's the beauty of it all. |
