i know that this poem could use a lot of work and i've revised it several times but it doesn't seem to want to turn itself into a good poem. tell me what you think... velvet green engulfs my eyes, my mind, soft emerald cradles my spirit in gentle, delicate hands. bright yellows brush the surface, and warmth dances for my heart. my perception goes beyond my reflection, and i am dazzled by the brilliance and life that i find. it holds me fast, but i want no escape. my spirit walks the avenues of fragile, faithful light. i have everything i need, and it is in your eyes that i find my soul. Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing. |

I agree with Regina, this was good and I quite liked the imagery you used. Andrew. " No Army can conquer a galaxy, yet faith alone can overturn the universe." |

Beautiful poem here, babe. The imagery is great, and the flow is perfect. I love it.. You already know that though. Keep posting! --Marie It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. |

I thought the imagery in this poem rocked. It seems just fine, but I guess it could be better in some ways.....No idea how to make it better cuz then I'd write it myself, but it could be beter. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Ooh, this is a very unique poem. I like the way you built up to the final line, with one single powerful message. The way you introduced a second party not until the last line really accentuated the feelings of it. It was almost a mystery... Very creative, Ban. I am completely impressed with the creative sense of this, but I will agree that it could have been better. Maybe add a hint of rhyme or meter? It's worth a revision, if you are willing to give it the time. But as is, I still think this is a great poem. ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

Why try to turn this to a good poem when it already is a great poem. I'm in awe with your style. BRAVO!!! "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, |

Wow... now this is a trip down memory lane. I thought (and still think) that this poem is so very candidly written. Thank you, banbury, for writing this and for ever thinking of me that way. The beauty you portrayed in this poem is beyond most that I have previous experienced. And painful or not, this memory is one that needed to be relived to be kept alive. I thank you for that. I miss you around here, and if you ever do get to read this know that I am thinking of you. Everyone deserves to read this. So I am bringing it back to the top. Please enjoy... and know that there is an amazing person behind this poem. Love, Jennifer ((behind this fuzzy haze I can see that we are coffee and milk mixed, perfect, but not for everyone.)) |
