Hi, this is my first time sharing anything I've written and it's a quickie so please don't tear me to shreds. Moment A pre-emptive chance In the midst of a feeling To leap and grasp All my decision An effort to right in vain Cowardice blankets the blame Derision in my lungs Rips at passions flames Doubt can consume I can't control a moment Endlessly drawing into you Sleepless, thoughtless devotion A constant wave is one motion Unabashed by time Good-byes are stagnant Like a heart, eclipsing in defeat

Another quickieClarity Words lack tongue --- Suited to whispers in the willow The sun is without beams When I do not know you Sighs kindle me blue Time reveals a tepid erosion Of the truth, balanced on the seams Kept from me and wrung On the telephone you breathed me A dull lull of heartbroken apathy And never had you spoken words so fine When you uttered a heartfelt good-bye Short quickie A matchbox ticks off the brighter aspirations I put off Another quickie Lost Where's the moment? How did I lose the capture of thine eyes? Was it by tether nor this meek design That I slipped to clench his ear In desperation of my tiding fear That you belonged on a surface far nearer Than what I could hold dear? Failed to rhyme you to amusement The music was lovely but her glance - flits Across the room, I turned her Yet her focus remained singular Noosed in my wrestle of morbid corruptions A jangly hall devised to yield my destruction I roamed in his iris to alleviate the danger Found but that I, was the lost stranger Disclaimer: Poetry is kind of a hobby. I don't claim to be good at it, but it's fun. IP: Logged |

Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed reading them. =)Make no claim to be good, just enjoy what you do, and that will be most evident in what you write and share. The most important thing, is that you are satisfied with what you have created, it may be one of the toughest though. Song writers, poets, playwrights, script writers, all take a long time to create something they feel is 'finished'. ------------------ Learn lots. Don't judge. Laugh for no reason. Be nice. Seek Happiness. Follow your dreams. IP: Logged |

Thank you for enjoying them, Swift! Creative writing is like getting struck by lightning for me; it's hard to keep together my thoughts, so editing is a great suggestion Thank you, Ayelet I will try posting one at least every week? I can't make promises though - I'm awful with commitment. IP: Logged |

I've often stuck with the theory we can't critique another's thoughts, their work, their spirit; but we can celebrate uniqueness and the beauty of their work. I enjoyed reading and hope you share more with us. IP: Logged |

I think your style is just fine Iced8Ace...My suggestion is to keep writing exactly what you feel. That's what makes your style distinctive. An analogy of sorts: pomegranate- from the outside it doesn't appear to be much- yet while halving, coring, and tasting its overwrought fruit; so very much is discovered within. As in writing (poetry) we explore from the inside- out. no rules, no form- but your own, is how I feel. IP: Logged |
