The Road of My Mind

by AJ   Jun 5, 2005


The long, dark winding road,
Is the road of my mind,
It's full of twists and turns,
Hills, and valleys,
Filled with thick briars,
And lush green forests.

I walk this road everyday,
Building another one everyday,
Sometimes full of hurt and dissapointment,
Others, full of happiness, and bliss....

Where or how this road will end,
No one knows,
It is made by the people,
And choices,
Of my life,
And is constantly changing....

    I liked the kind of philosophical tone to this poem. I liked the idea of the path of your mind being made by choices and it’s not something you can foresee. I liked your choice of words, in the most of the poem and how you moved on to another important message with each stanza. You said just enough to give the reader an idea, but not enough to be definite, almost letting the readers think for themselves about the rest.

    My only suggestions are with the first stanza you describe the road as dark. Then go on to say it has hills and valleys with lush forests. These contradict either other and hinder the effects you were wanting.
    In the second stanza, although this is just personal, I find using the same word at the end of two connecting lines somewhat sloppy. Maybe if your re worded one ending word, this would sound better. However these suggestions are up to you, it is your poem.

    Good job, over all I enjoyed the poem. Keep writing.
