Soap Scrubbing the past that I leave behind, Soap in my eyes but I do not mind, Burning pain but I cannot cry, My past has bled my tear ducts dry, Scrubbing the past that I leave behind, Soap in my eyes, pain I can not find, Red eyes soar, scrubbing too hard, I lie bleeding out in my yard, Scrubbing the past that I leave behind, Soap in my eyes but I’m feeling blind, You do not notice the pain in my eye, But your up above me, floating so high, Scrubbing the past that I leave behind, Soap in my eyes facing the grind, I’m moving on now can see far ahead, I’m forgetting now whatever you said. --- Another piece i'm not that happy with... i'm still stuck pretty much in writers block so I just walked past a bar of soap and forced myself to write about it... Anyway what do you think?

i liked the way you opened this piece especially, this is very coo. i think if you wanted to do something neat with this you could turn it into a villanelle because you use so much repitition in this. either way this is good writing. keep posting your work. Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing. |

Now that is creativity at work! I love it for the fact that you made yourself write about an object like a bar of soap. Very deep and very cool. Keep 'em coming, Andrew.  ~AF~ Stupidity killed the cat. Curiosity was framed. |

not bad Zu. You started it really well and I believe you kinda laxed in the end. All in all it's a good read though. keep sharing "So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, |

I love the beginning and middle of the poem, but the last stanza just didn't work for me. It seemed to lose the feeling of the rest of it. Geez, I hate agreeing with acire  Great start to this poem though, and good luck getting over your writers block!"Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle" Plato. |

I like this, although the ending is very weak. You ended on a note not good enough for conclusion of the poem. If you add a stanza after the last, you may be able to save this. I like the initial idea behind it. ~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. |

I really liked the style of this. I thought you expressed yourself quite well.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
