Infinity

by Maple Tree   Apr 3, 2013


Locked in a blur of vision less faces,
masking an economy of shooting stars,
falling victim to a thunderous hourglass
dripping infinity of a spaced out room
in my mind.

    Oh... what a surprise. I actually would never have picked this out as your poem Maple. Interesting surprise.

    #5 Infinity

    Locked in a blur of vision less faces,
    masking an economy of shooting stars,
    falling victim to a thunderous hourglass
    dripping infinity of a spaced out room
    in my mind

    5 - first five points because all the rules were followed, it was 4-5 lines, it met the topic well and the word count was within its limit.
    5 - such a very powerful opening again, which I love in a poem because it draws me straight into the poem with interest and amazement at the word choice.
    5- I thought the idea of adding an hourglass into a poem about time was very creative and also represents how fast it passes.
    5- I also really like the word choice of victim and it gave a sense of entrapment with this place in your mind. This to me captures the authors mindset and their thoughts on what time has done for them, or in this case more what time has not given them that perhaps they longed for.

    20/25
    Extra points : I give this poem 5 extra points because it stood out very clearly from the start and I felt the word choice very powerful like the author had put a lot of effort to make sure each word fed off the next and they all joined together to emphasis the power inside the poem. Very impressive poem.

    Total - 25/25

    You always kill it with imagery and metaphors. To be honest, I don't know what it means, but I could read it over and over. Beautiful write, Andrea :)
