Salt water lungs

by zombiepikachu   Feb 10, 2013


Sometimes breathing is
difficult when my lungs
are filled with salt water
and my mind is filled with
whattodowhattodowhatdoido?

    Personally, I would leave "difficult" on the first sentence of the stanza.

    I like the comparison of the salt water and the frantic thoughts that are running through the mind.

    over all I think it was a good poem.

    I really like this. I like the imagery of salt water stinging the speaker's lungs; it's a really nice visual and metaphor. I also like the way you wrote that last line. I can relate to how the speaker may be feeling because I actually got a little dizzy, as I was reading it. Was that intended? If so, nice job.

      Yes, it was! c: I'm glad that it got the feeling across that I had hoped for.
