Writing

by H E Losey   May 3, 2008


Gliding across the paper
Leaving a dark trail
Rising, falling, sliding

Letters forming with purpose
As clear as froth on ale
The sight mystifying

Words from letters, curious
Thoughts from words, detail
Could this be writing?

    So simple, so creative, and wow. Its nice to see a poet's own idea of writing itself and this was nice. The audience can see and feel whats going on, in the easiest of ways.I really like this excellent job.

    To write/type a poem about writing would be hard enough, but to do so in such a way as you have is difficult. You created a short poem that is also detailed, all on a topic that can barely be described. Great Job there

    The poem did confuse me though. I didn't grasp some of your metaphors as fully as you have. Granted I am a reader not the writter.

    Anway thanks for the read.

    Good, but I wish it could have been longer.

    Nice image and the word flow is good but if they were to be Haikus I see you have my problem too.

    I remember that I've already read this piece once and I loved it, I just haven't had time to leave comment then.
    First off, I admire the fact that you managed to say so much within just three stanzas. This poem is vivid and deep, truly memorable. I like every stanza, they are powerful and seemingly simple yet really powerful. I have only one suggestion: maybe you can add some more punctuation signs to create more powerful flow? I liked the way it flows and its captivating rhythm but some more punctuation would highlight the message even better.
    Overall, this is enjoyable read. Greatly done.
