Sitting in a dark car in the stary night
My breath fogging the window
With the condensation of the beating rain
Making only distant lights seem visible
The only thing shining
Blurring and unblurring
When i come out of my trance.
When the car halts
I open the door, stand under the streetlight,
And stare straight up
Letting the moist tears of the sky
Become one with my skin
As it abosrbs it.
For a moment i close my eyes
And i can feel a techno dance beat's
Profound lyrcs in my head
Then it's gone
As a voice yells at me
To stand out of the rain
Because i already am sick.
Everyone is sick
Let me have me emotion flood me
Just for a moment.
Tears flow as i sit in a church pew
It's not often that I'm here
But when death strikes
It's where i am.
I can't muffle my sobs
As i hear a ladies words
Fade away and start back up again
Speaking of this great person.
I close my eyes
As profound lyrics come into my head
Matching the words she speaks at the pulpit
And loud sobs can not be stiffled as my chest heaves.
Then, someone asks if I'm alright
Perhaps feeling rather sick
Need a moment away from this place.
Everyone is sick.
Let me have my emotion flood me
Just for a moment.
Not a rhyming poem, but what do you think of it?
That's a really terrific poem. I see no flaws in it. I recommend looking into getting it published in a book of poems from you or a book with other poets as well.

Reply:If is very good. the first time you use the stanza "everyone is sick, correct the second line the word me, should be "my" to match the last stanza. It is a very moving poem, and you can feel your sadness due to the death of someone very close. My favorite part starts with "tears flow as I sit in a church pew......
Keep writing, it may help with actual grief. I wrote a very long poem about my mother after she passed away.
Reply:You have an honest voice in your writing. You use alot of solid specific details to paint the scene. There are some areas where you could trim it down and make it more effective. Your conclusion could use a little more punch. That said, you write things that are interesting to read. Thanks.
