Hey everyone I'm new here, this looks like a fun forum! I was wondering if you guys could tell me what you think about this poem I wrote: Sometimes I see the trees Like tempests of old swaying through the breeze Breaking the baptized sky with their wings of eloquence The corrosive nature of love withers its way through the hearts of willows Hidden; beneath the angst of time itself The branches are sprawled amongst the ground Like ancient ruins Untouched by the melancholy of human hands A place where even the hands of Hercules Stand on the precipice of common misconception. Those who are strong are always wayward; Showing no remorse for the feeble souls of others Here lie the branches of life; Gone to the forlorn wood But not to the eyes of those who truly see; Dead to you But not to me Please let me know, I love to hear what others think! Thanks -Miranda |

It's beautiful Miranda. "Breaking the baptized sky with their wings of eloquence The corrosive nature of love withers its way through the hearts of willows" I love the term "baptized sky." Calls up all sorts of images for me. Welcome. |

Welcome to Passions “The corrosive nature of love withers its way through the hearts of willows” This poem is filled with very intense and vivid imagery but this line stood out more than the rest to me personally, very though provoking and an enjoyable read. I look forward to reading more of your writing. Andrew |

Reminds me of what a famous poem should look like as if it were stolen from some lost forgotten page that has died with age to write like this is beyond most poets its a special gift of how we see the world before us |

this poem has got something worth reading, although the capitalization can be misleading in relation to the emphasis on each line. When read fully and within the rhythm of the completed poem. The journey clearly flows merrily toward the end. a good read a poet who cares |
