Lonley Path

************Contest poem ***********

Empty fields, yellow grass,
Carved with a bumpy path
To an endless place it leads
With nothing on the road to feed

Lonely shadows in the skies
Filled with all the lies
Dark curves you can see
To color my memory

What is life but a road,
Empty as the picture showed
With no one to light your way
You will die day after day

You will see the horizon show
But your energy will be low and low
The thunder will blow in your ears
And make you tremble from your fears

Lighting will precede the sound
But hope is not to be found
Close your eyes and walk this field
Someday your wounds will be healed

It is dark to walk alone
Trembling with fear your every bone
Life is a two way path
Because for one It weight her mass

Hold my hand and let us ride
This empty land, from side to side
Hold my hand my dear ___
If someone can light it, I am sure you can

    Very well done poem. I think that it's one of my favorite to date as well. I think that your a very good writer. I am going to add you to my favorites list.

    I looked over this poem and it took me a moment or two to understand the meaning behind it.

    It's like a person's life, it is always changing and through ups and downs there are still problems with it, but yet they still continue on.

    I'm not sure why you got a less than five on this poem. the only reason I can see is possible the change in structure.

    It is dark to walk alone
    Trembling with fear your every bone
    Life is a two way path
    Because for one It weight her mass

    that one where you went from all long sentences to, two shorter ones.

    I think that it didn't take away from the poem...but added to it.

    You get 5/5 once again.

    wonderful poem!

  • Wow!
    i really like the diction in this poem. simply yer it created a huge impact in your words..and although it is sad...the ending still hols on to hope.. for a better day...i like the detail and imagery you used.. painted a picture in my mind along with the poem. only a talented poet can do that. your rhyming is very good too gives a great to the whole poem.

    "Lighting will precede the sound
    But hope is not to be found
    Close your eyes and walk this field
    Someday your wounds will be healed"
    >this stanza is just amazing.. it aborbs the whole emotion of the poem. i like the way it's starts... no hope....but like every being we still hold on... for a chance to heal...the hard chips of life are very well captured in the whole poem.
    keep it up!
