Silver tears(Villanelle)

by PS   Mar 21, 2006


Silver Tears are forever falling
Down the face of a forgotten child
What's the point of even trying?

She can withstand the monster's might
Even though she's never smiled
Silver tears are forever falling

Touching everything in sight
Everyone has become beguiled
What's the point of even trying?

Alone in the middle of the night
Her life will always be defiled
Silver tears are forever falling

Wandering down like a kite
The feelings that she feels aren't mild
What's the point of even trying?

She's going to give up without a fight
She'll never do a thing that's wild
What's the point of even trying?
Silver tears are forever falling

-i know its not perfect form but im not changing it

    I loved how you switched on and off with the repetition of the last sentence on every stanza. It was very creative and the way you combined the last to repetitions at the end of the poem was very awesome! I've never seen a poem like it! A one of a kind write!

    Hey, thanks for reading my poem and giving it a chance even though it wasn't really the type of poems you like. Thank you for also for speaking so highly of it, I was flattered. I liked your tear imagery here and your repetition of "what's the point of even trying?" A emotional poem that was written with great feeling.

  • Beautiful sad penned.. It's strange that darkened children need forgiveness, For evil that they suffer, innocent. But guilt's the trademark of humiliation, Burned into the flesh of memory. have a good day, thanks for the nice comment you left.....
