Position:Home>Poetry> Another poem from me... haven't done one in a while... how did I go...?


Question:The Forest:

*ahem, ahem, ahem*

The glittering, dancing, shining water
Tumbles down to the pool below
The sunlight sparkles off the moving falls
Which will forever dance and shine and glow

Beyond the waterfall is a hidden cave
Deep inside the ground
The cave sits there, quietly waiting
Until the day it will be found

There is a clearing in the forest
A little way further in
The bright green grass reaches for the sky
Waiting for the rain to begin

A brisk wind rises and swirls around
Sweeping leaves and dust along
Overhead, in the whispering trees
The birds sing their morning song

This wild word beyond my grasp
Calls me to come and enjoy
Before the other humans come
With one word in mind – 'Destroy'

What did you think? Any comments, suggestions, opinions?

Hey, I like it!!!
I like when you talked about the cave waiting for someone to discover it, and the grass waiting for the rain. It's like the calm before a storm, which is always beautiful.
The only complaint I have is that some of your lines are lacking certain syllables and emphasis. Try reading it aloud while tapping on something. Or reading it to a metronome, if you're that fancy! =]

All in all, very nice!

I really liked the begingin and the words flowed really good, but the end was a bit jumpy and may need to be worded a bit differently. Overall i like it though.

super nice i like it.

Like a superb free flowing green poem. I think it's a fantastic piece, and also terribly cruel, that love too can die, and so gruesome.

I likes it alot I do agree that you could do a little revisions on it but just to tweek it good job two thumbs up!!!!

Woh.. nice poem.. really cool..
