Where does the night go? When all are asleep Why am I pacing the floor? The dark of the night so deep Another night lost For reasons unknown Time passes by And still I'm alone Where is it you've been? And why aren't you here Did something happen to you That’s always my biggest fear Are you hurt or bleeding somewhere? Out on the streets so late Or are you having fun, no cares And what's her name that you date In the light of the morning The sun high in the sky The pacing finally stops I'm so tired I could cry At last you walk in the door You're tired but smile when you see me You where supposed to be home at four Awww Mom let me be! ------------------ Set you heart free and your mind will follow. |

Hehe...I've been here more times than I care to remember. Nowadays, my parents just lock the doors at a certain hour, so if I'm not in on time, I get to sleep in my car. Style-wise, this one had a very conversational rhythm, but the meter jumped between 2 and 3 beats per line, with an odd 4 every now and then. Also there seems to be variant stresses, alternating between hard and soft with no clear pattern. But this is all structural stuff. Message-wise, I loved it. I've found myself doing the same pacing and fretting about my mom, from time to time. Oh, but they do get wild when they get older.  Alicat  |

I'm w/you Elvira, I sometimes wonder if my chilli-cats could be worse than "real" children. (I swear they're more spoiled!) Nice poem Dragoness, but you've made me feel a tad guilty at the things that must've run through my parents heads! ------------------ Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll be among the stars. -Unknown- So let the sun beat down upon my face, It's warmth will dry my tears. |
