A candle

by sarah   Oct 2, 2005


A candle may shine brightly in a dim place,

may capture every speckle of darkness,

may fight through the evil colors of shade,

may show creative power of black,

may lean on its only source of wax left,

And may defeat darkness and burn forever.

    I love this poem, it's short yet it gets the point across to the reader and it's strong. i actually like it because it's simply short and has such power to it. the only thing i would like to suggest is that you repeat "May" so many times.

    i think that the last five "May"s can actually be taken out. read over it without the word i think you would like it better. least i do.

    this is only a suggestion don't take offence.

    What an interesting poem about a candle. Written with creative diction. Short and to the point...well done.

    Now about my poem "Familiar Faces."
    Dementia is a very horrible disease that causes gradual deteriation of the brain and everyday functions. Memory loss is the worst symptom. Memory of people, places, important events. However, despite how some people steriotype them they remain "sane" in the sense the only thing that has changed is their memory. They do have flashbacks and reaslise what's going on sometimes too. The hidden message is this, imagine someone with dementia actually did write this, the fact they can still construct a poem of their thoughts shows they're are still capable of feeling and wanting to share. I know this is a hard message to get, but I hope it's logical, and I hope it makes sense. Anyway thanks for asking...take care,
