Empty poems

by Edward Oropeza   Sep 27, 2012


Empty desk an empty paper,
with my blank head, my warm blanket
my pen an empty ink,
grazing words, constructing from the unknown,
solving for a crime, my unsettled poems
looking for a jury, to stand for a cause,
inviting witnesses to weigh the case,

silent room, a whispers mute
tiny light blinded by a shade,
spectators waiting for a show,

untold, unheard,
figures not shown,
questions roused, explainations deemed
thundering clap, audience ovation

trumpets heard, a band of bangle
my stand, my gestures
words worn out,
empty, nothing to say
no shows to convey

world's wailing
days counted,
an ending to my empty poems,

no inscription, white as sand
empty head, unsolve puzzle
lights out, a write on a dream

    Wow, love the courtroom appearance in the beginning of this poem, using the jury and witnesses! Creative opening!

    I like the choppy feel tot he poem, they way you have broken this piece up and made it keep going smoothly, yet fast, this worked well for me.

    I love the title you picked for it, so powerful and eye catching. I also relate as I have a bunch of paper scattered places that I never finish, or never like enough to post, but do not find time or motivation to go abck and edit them.

    Anyway, I enjoyed this!

    Wow really cool.
    "silent room, a whispers mute
    tiny light blinded by a shade,
    spectators waiting for a show,"
    That stuck out to me a lot, excellent write.
    Keep it up, surprised you don't have many comments you have really good writings.
    5/5
