*ahem*

deserted land
waiting thirsty, in pain
sheltered by a white cloud
dropping poison, acid rain

liquid death
on lips of the land
comfort streaming
through a dagger-holding hand

furtherly drained
the cloud was fading
the plain was left
damned to a living

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

no comment, as usual... you're free to interpret

Indeed it would, dastard. (your encouragement there).

I'd love to have a deep reply here.... but I don't. My mind just isn't working, dammit.

But I enjoyed the piece. Very... Green Day-ish. Find of "hahahaha, laughing at all you in your little cubicles..." LoL. Poetically, it seemed well written to me. Shot, short lines, etc etc. All put together nicely.

Wow... this is quite impressive.  I loved the rhyme scheme you had, and the meter worked well.  This was so sad... 'the plain was left/damned to a living.' And almost bitter... 'dropping poison, acid rain.'  The tone was interesting, in a way, and the length left enough unsaid to be mysterious.  Definitely a though-provoking poem you've construed.

You are so very talented, custard!  I really liked this.  It is more than deserving of a little bump back to the front page

Wonderful work... truly.

I am loving this.
Nothing beats a poem that is shorter
and makes you think, the flow
is great and the wording and
way it is written is terrific.
Great Work.

Thanks for all of your replies peeps!

robin - yep, I think so..

titus - should I listen to more Green Day? Prolly I should.. *makes note*

rhonda - I finally shut you up, huh?!

cherish - you can't have read a lot of poetry then lol.. *sigh* I don't share your taste, but nevermind.. I still gotta do that re-read session though

lisa - unfortunatelly you'll have to wait a while until there'll be more.. I'm not a frequent writer..

marie - first of all.. *big hugs* secondly, thanks so much, sweety..  you know, that your oppinion is of special importance to me *gives you a "bump" with the butt*

voiceless - unfortunately the lenght of it is more a result of lacking creativity

gwen - LMAO.. check teen chat some time.. it's alreay been quite a while since I [or my screen name] have been transformed into custard! *blinks towards Cherish* so don't worry about it.. it's not only you!
