Beneath the surface

by e LIZ a beth   Feb 25, 2007


Beneath the surface
are things unspoken
a tale untold
a heart thats broken

a soul thats torn
and ripped to shreds
she hanging on
by fraying threads

beneath the surface
behind smoky eyes
tears slowly form
from all the lies

brittle bones
weak from pain
with all to lose
but nothing to gain

beneath the surface
behind the smile
lies a mind,
thats in denial

a thought thats stuck
a girl thats hides
seeing the world
through closed eyes

    I really liked the overall flow of this poem. You caught my attention and hed it. The flow of the poem has alot to do with that. I liked your rhyme scheme you have going hear, every secound and fourth stanza rhyming. But i dont htink you kindof stuck with this rhyme scheme in the last two stanzas. They dont seem to go with the rest of the poem becuase of that. Rhyming hides with eye's, made me feel like that was forced. Anywyas i liekd the structure of the poem, 6 stanza's with 4 lines each. The lines were quite short yet they worked. I liekd the alliteration you used hear, "brittle bones". The reader wants to read more of this poem... they want to know more about this story. Again im going to ask you to use punctuation. But an enjoyable read. Keep writing! xx
