Bounce

by Kevin   Nov 9, 2004


I have several problems
I could count and list them
they amalgamate inside however

so to react not solve
because I will not hasten
I deflect all out
and into the world I place them

this gutless parry’s
weight I carry
for my troubles have not perished
like a virus passed to folks I know
they show themselves in those I cherish

so what to do?
should I turn and run?
from those I love and call my own
if not through them
my problems will
find a path
so themselves be known

I cannot run
they will not hide
but they hurt too much to keep inside

    This is a response to the comment that I made beforehand. I do like this poem and gave it 5/5. I particularly liked the last stanza if you wish to have some consrtuctive criticisms it would be to try and get the sounding a little bit better some of the lines are longer than others. I choose to comment to complement people's work and not to criticise but it is still a good poem. Keep writing. Love Emma xxx

    I think that much of the difficulty you are getting with people voting or commenting on this poem is that it is grossly misunderstood by the mass populace. Anyway I really like it, it definately has some good points to prove. When it comes to the answer- I cant help you. I think I am struglling with that myself. The writing is good, the vocab is great too, most people wont understand the concept of the poem strictly because of the vocabulary, which doesnt matter. I like the ambigouity in this piece, and I like how the last stanza rhymes when the rest does not, it ties in nicely.
