Question: What do you think of my poem (non-rhyming) - please comment ?!?
Hey everyone!. I usually write rhyming poems, but i decided to try one without rhyming!.!.!.

What do you think of it!?



Fingers tapping on the keys

In beat with the song

Singing to the music

Listening for the meaning

The lyrics tell a story

One of love and loss

Wanting time to be alone

Discovering a new life

Turning over a new leaf

Starting fresh looking for love!.

Edit:

My fingers tap aimlessly

on my computer keys

I hear them keeping beat with the music

that plays just as aimlessly

My lips move wet words damp with bitter love

My eyes drown with the tears!.

To distract my heart

I listen for sane meaning

to what we are

The lyrics tell the story

of love being lost

Did I heaar glass shards

tearing inside of me!?

Do I want time alone!?

Is it possible I would discover new life!?

I let hope embrace me

The song says I might find it

I sleep the sleep of escape

I dream new love and leave us in the past!.

I have been a poet for 50 years!.I've had several published over the years so I hope you will respect my opinion!.
You are a good writer!. If I may critic' your work honestly, it seems you have several thoughts going in this poem and they just needed to tie in with each other!. (My way is just a sample of how you might do that) Slow down and clear your mind!.
Rather than think words!.!.!.!.!.!.Feel your poem!. Feel what it is you are trying to let out or let the world know!. I hope you will keep writing

I think that it's great that you wrote an un-rhymed poem! The narrative of the poem is clear but do you really want the poem to end where it does!? Something tells me that the speaker in the poem has more to say!. How does the song that the speaker is listening to effect the speaker!? Does she relate to the song!? Do her fingers loose the beat when the song talks about love, do they beat faster!? There seems to be a distance between the emotions of the speaker and the song!. Is the speaker hesitant to share what's really on her mind!? Why doesn't the speaker further engage with the song at the end!? Why not let the speaker take some more emotional risk!?

Just some questions to think about!. The poet's talent is obvious!. The poet is able to create a clear narrative and convey images in a compressed and poetic way; people on Yahoo Answers often criticize good poetry ;-)!. Again bravo for trying something new!. For me personally, I will almost always sacrifice rhyme for meaning; because of this my poems rarely rhyme!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
