Perhaps Today

by Sunshine   Jun 21, 2011


So he leaves again..

It's just a new summer
for everyone to wear
some fancy sunrays,
and a regular season
to sleep as if unnoticed.

Sitting beside a dead telephone
in a room too small to find words
to describe- laying on a brown couch
wondering if it's time to open up
the green curtains-as if happy.

Two white plates on a wearied
wooden table-ironically waiting
to be filled, when I like the rest
of the aging furniture stand
still where I've once been placed-
pending on the jokes of summer
to push a visitor outside my pink door.

I heave the nearest plate next to me
toward the dusty space as if
disappointed.

Lost outside my window, staring
at a busy month, I shed some crazy
tears watching him leaving again...

as if he came back in the first place.

    Awesome. the title caught my attention. an amazing start. and when you talked about room its just create an image in my mind. such a deep feelings in human you have pout here.

    the idea was great. and the usage of words is good. a combination is good too. that makes and show me it into a very strong emotions.

    your poems are beyond my thinking because of very good English. so i always read your poem two or three times to understand completely. And i cannot leave the page without commenting your poems.

    this is my favorite stanza,. a great and strong metaphor as well i see in it. i like the wording a Dead telephone. this what makes the strong image in my mind and force me to read the rest of poem with a very good manner.

    one thing more i noticed every single line has the power. something strong emotions and deep feelings. you put the emotions in a very good form inside any poem. that makes your poem perfect always

    fro me 5/5

    What a nostalgic opening
    It sounds almost..like a sigh....

    It's just a new summer

    some fancy sunrays,
    and a regular season
    to sleep as if unnoticed.

    I like the use of sunrays here,
    while people usually would use sunglasses or shades..
    this stanza has highly creative...

    Eh,the 'dead telephone' here was
    Clever,I like how you refered to the room as too small,instead of thoughts or emotions...
    It makes it interesting..
    And the way u used 'green' curtains...
    When we know green is the color of hope so it fits right in..with the emotions you are trying to potray..

    Aah! How girly :') why must the door be pink?...
    Hahahaha
    Again the use of "two plates"
    Here was perfect,combined with the word ironically...since in the beginning you explained that he left...

    I heave the nearest plate next to me
    toward the dusty space as if
    disappointed.

    The 'as if'
    Shows that you aren't dissapointed?
    Am I right?....
    Yet throughout the poem
    It seems like you are sad that he left?..
    Ay chihuahua..

    Lost outside my window, staring
    at a busy month, I shed some crazy
    tears watching him leaving again...
    ^
    Yes! Highly creative again...
    I've never heard of tears being crazy,
    And never knew one could stare at a month..

    as if he came back in the first place.

    Jeezus,what an ending rania...
    Stop doing this to me...
    What you do with words
    Is just unbelievable...
