My One Time I remember my one time like a breath, almost discarded Past it was a breath timed so so relaxed could sleep beyond it A bass line in an orchestra just wind passing by my ears With no revelation to remind me was it a one time for the tin man There was no one time before it... there will never be another If it ever was... my one time came and went In one breath; came and went and left me Looking for one more Which, of course will never come again for me "and Death i think is no paranthesis"-e.e. cummings |

'I remember my one time like a breath, almost discarded Past it was a breath timed so so relaxed could sleep beyond it' A nice tone there. A breath discarded? Interesting thought...i've never thought of it that way... fourth line...it doesn't make sense. Are you missing something? Just wondering. 'A bass line in an orchestra just wind passing by my ears' Beautiful words...base line in an orchestra. You can almost hear it. The metaphor suits it nicely. Very wistful sounding, ne? 'With no revelation to remind me was it a one time for the tin man' Brings back memories of the Wizard of Oz... ![]() 'my one time came and went In one breath; came and went and left me Looking for one more Which, of course will never come again for me' Very profound, dark and hopeless almost. Or...sad. ![]() The break at the end between 'again' and 'for me' was very effective. Almost a "suspenseful" pause, yet it wasn't suspenseful. It was more of an...effect to add a little something to the poem. Nicely done. Overall, Sean, another great piece from you! I hope to see much more from you! Till then, adíos! -£êåh Va pensiero sull' ali dorate... [This message has been edited by chasing rain (edited 08-20-2001).] |

I'm w/ Leah on this one. The 4th lined seemed a bit off...though it could be the way I'm reading it...who knows. And I reallyed liked the ending...like she said-suspenseful. One hell of an impact. Much enjoyed! You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did. |
