feel in me the dull shades of grey when daylight is altered to dark, and hear from me the sounds of May when rabid dogs stand tall and bark; even though the weather is great I'm in such a state of nasty call me very unfortunate, sympathize and sell me pity! ever since the bird flew away like a tourist flying free miles and lucrative lures held their sway my spirit is stitched in sad cries; into deep skies, she dashed away, crystal clear with open blue hues, and the colours, she took away from my canvas, leaving back slew. was fragile and now, I'm broken, lightning struck when murky clouds clashed and thunder roared an explosion that left me with all hopes dashed; please don't call me unfortunate, don't sell me packets of pity, no more can I pay the rent, mate, of dreaming those dreams so lofty! and here I am, scribbling hot air as the day fades into nothing, perhaps I am shedding despair with words full of wasted meanings; forgive me friends, I've been unfair to pester you with my wailings and now I am done with my share, bid you bye for today, smiling. Thank you for reading this rambling! °!° "I was born intelligent - education ruined me" |

Sometimes we just have to let it all out, and let it fall where it may.... never NOT write, Sudhir.... we need to read you... |

I won't speak for others, but I've been enjoying your thoughts. Perhaps the only true waste is to let such things fester within, never allowing others to share your feelings with you. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

feel in me the dull shades of grey when daylight is altered to dark, ========================= my spirit is stitched in sad cries; into deep skies, she dashed away, crystal clear with open blue hues, and the colours, she took away from my canvas, leaving back slew. was fragile and now, I'm broken, lightning struck when murky clouds clashed and thunder roared an explosion that left me with all hopes dashed; please don't call me unfortunate, don't sell me packets of pity, =============================== and here I am, scribbling hot air as the day fades into nothing, perhaps I am shedding despair with words full of wasted meanings; forgive me friends, I've been unfair to pester you with my wailings and now I am done with my share, bid you bye for today, smiling. ======================== You should be smiling...from pride for this one... there are FAR TOO MANY very cool lines of both imagery and emote to call this one rambling my poet of brilliance....far too many very cool poetic turn of phrase as well. that opening line is perfect...the perfect hook and image this is heartfelt expressive and full of imagery and the rhyme scheme is clever and well done... nope..cant call this one rambling... gotta call it poetry in motion SUD-STYLE I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep. |
