Eternal Sleep

by Crystal Rose Blooming   Nov 22, 2008


Death the eternal sleep
Loneliness
Embraces empty hearts of loss

Time is an enemy
Marching on
With out regard to the weeping

The sun still shines the birds sing
With no end
But as always, time will go on

    The only criticism I can offer is for the last line; instead of But as always, time will go on, I'd say, And as always, time will go on.
    It seems to me that the sun shining and the birds singing are part of the same vision of time marching on, rather than opposed to it. I don't know if that makes any sense...
    Beautiful little poem though.

    This poem is simple, and at the same time that is what makes it beautiful.

    Normally I stay away from the very small poems, but there is something about this poem that seemed different, perhaps it was the similies, which I love, and the fact that you choose not to use adjectives.

    This is a very well done poem and I enjoyed it. I really don't/can't say anything bad about this poem.

    5/5
