| | | MY new poem, read it i hope you like it a flaw i own,
inside of me,
i try to fix,
all that i see.
people making,
bad mistakes,
people doing wrong,
i try to make them right,
i try to make them strong.
but it usually ends,
in another awful mess.
this is i flaw i own,
again i'll try to address,
sometimes i help them,
and they thank me dear,
but i can't seem to help,
but to fix all near.
sometimes i see,
something not like me,
and wrongly assume,
that its a mistake,
and genuine but fake.
when really theres nothing,
wrong with it,
but that i forget.
and i try to fix it anyway,
and people get madder,
and people get sadder,
as fix,
whats broken.
and shouldn't be spoken.
this a flaw i own,
i'll try to disown.
and days go by,
and people cry,
i'll remember,
that i can't fix,
something,
that was never broke. | | | | | | |

| Hi, Sonador101!
There seems to be a lull on this site concerning those involved or interested in the arts of any kind right now. As time goes on, I am sure that things will pick up!
I like your poem! It is from your soul and your inner thoughts. It reminds me that, a person can't be friends with everyone with whom he might have an encounter, nor be able to fix everything for someone else, no matter hard you try.
I am wondering what you mean by "but it usually ends, in another awful mess." as stated in your third stanza, please?
By the way, thanks for arranging your poem in a way that might be more conducive to a rhythm of some kind! It's much easier to read, and you do seem drawn to the rhythmic style that a person can have when writing poetry. |

| clough, you asked me to elaberate, what i meant in "another awful mess" well usually people get mad at me, and stop talking to me, and i get mad at them for not listening to me, yeah thats about it.
by the way thanks for the advice about stanza, i usually don't remember to do that, but it really made it easier to read. |

| Thanks for you appreciation, Sonador101! Your poem does look to be in a finer form this time. I hope that you will keep on practicing your art and sharing with us!
What you have in your signature reminds me of a saying that I have now taken to heart for a long time now. And, that would be that "The best mirror is a friend's eye." |

Thank you! And, I'm glad that saying had meaning for you, Sonador101! It also has great meaning for me! It's amazing the short sayings that we can pick up and use as we go about our lives! You will acquire many more as you progress in your life with the experiences that you have. |

Introspective and thought provoking! I really enjoyed the read!
If you look above, you will see that I separated a few lines and combined a few for the flow but when one writes from the heart, sometimes an adjustment that I did, just doesn't feel the same to the author so you should have it the way you feel good about it. I did it just as a suggestion. When I write, I know what I want to convey and I don't always hold to the accepted forms but write it as I feel it. I am published but my main art is pencil drawing. I probably enjoy poems most because poems, generally I find create a mood as does music and most poems can be set to music because of the rhythm. Really speaks to my heart! Please share more! |
