I am the worm

by Linden   May 11, 2007


They are the birds
Grace
Space
Silky lace

I am the worm
Rain
Pain
No name

They are the birds
Above me
Preying
Free

I am the worm
Deep below
Hunted
Foe

They are the birds
Falling
Flightless
Found

I am the worm
Sin
Eating
Win

They are the birds
Gone
Bones
Dawn

I am the Worm
Fed
Birds
Dead

    Wow I really liked how you switched from the birds to the worm at every other stanza and I liked the comparison there. What I liked the most in this poem though was the three descriptive lines below it. The only critique I have is the first descriptive lines were really good but I think that the last one needs a bit more punch. Nice work though.

    I liked it, it is different from any other poem I have read. I also liked how you used a birds and worms to show how society and life sometimes work. 5/5

    Great imagery created with so few words, and an interesting structure makes this poem very original, it conveys a simple message very effectively. good write.
