Frozen Coffee and No Compensation

by Stephanie   Apr 29, 2010


My grammer is the way it is. I'm actually a grammer freak, but this poem is written the way it is because that's how I felt like writing it. Sorry for the confusion. (:

----------------------------------------------------------

I felt a chill like no other hug my bones this morning,
like that cold December night in the deep of snow -
or wait. what is snow or just my regret?
either way, it came up to waist and i couldn't move.
the cost of love empty my pockets easily,
costing me more than the coffee i paid for yesterday.
what a shame - the price we pay, how sad.
you'd think that i woulda learned a lesson to share,
cause i swear i've spent a fortune on you by now.
and i'd give anything to feel a flame burning me,
but dear, you stole my flame that December night.
you stole anything and everything that i had to give.
and now i stand here with frozen coffee and no heart.
so if i ever meet you on a road that happens to be less traveled,
i'll let you call it luck as you forget to give compensation.

    Hello,
    Truly I liked your poem, I loved the affection put into the lines. The way you related it to mudane things of the day like it was casual and mattered little even though it's clear it does. Only a few grammatical and spelling errors ruin the flow of the poem. 'I's' need to be capitalised, it's only for dramatic affect that you are disclosing your emotions and travelled has a double ll. If you use a full stop remember to captialise the next word. Finally I loved the description of the road, I can imagine a broken girl with a cold coffee wondering a bare street. It's brilliant, imagery is what we rely on for great poetry. Well done! 4/5
