Comments : FORGIVE

  • 4 years ago

    by Poet on the Piano

    I like the subtlety of this, the brevity that still speaks and haunts "forgive me" making the reader wonder. Losing this person yet still feeling that connection, seeing yourself in them. I do feel maybe sharing another line, or another detail, would make this poem stand out more and come alive. Brevity works often when it's thought-provoking and can either play on words or leave that lasting image, in my opinion.

    Should the first line read "nothing too lost" or "nothing to lose", I was a bit perplexed about the tense there.

    My only other comment would be about your ellipsis "..." as I don't feel they're necessary or add to the piece in an important way. I think it would read just as well without them. Or perhaps keeping the one in the third line after "my love".

    Welcome to PnQ! I hope you continue to write and share on here.
