I caught myself (contest)

by Teria   Feb 13, 2009


I caught myself staring awkwardly in a daze
Freezing the movements that were already still

I found myself blinking away at the moments
Turning to mush as if I were solid before-hand

I seen myself burning in a fiery hell
Pushing past demons as if I never knew them

You've caught me staring straight at the sun
Melting the moments that were already gone

You found me blinking in a never ending pattern
Turning the words around as if they were to hurt someone

And, you seen me burning in a fiery hell
Pushing past demons as if you weren't one of them

... I caught myself this time,
falling too fast.
But it'll never happen again,
because my past is my past.

    This poem is very different from the others that I usually read. It's not, however, different in a bad way. I liked the fact that the style was new to me and it kept me reading. Keep up the good work.

    This is one of your good ones =] it's structure is presented a lot better! Again though I want to point out the flow as the person above me did, here and there it threw me off and made it difficult for me to carry on reading. I always review somebodys work everyday and I hope I havnt offended you with the crittisism. Again good write 4/5

    Its a good poem, but the flow wasnt quite there for me, the main part where i felt thrown off was the second verse. Nice imagery used however yet this type of poem is not one I tend to read, good job though it's a nice write

    That was a unique approach to the poem. From the title i expected something slightly different with a more traditional structure, however, I prefer your version much more. I like the bit that you included about your past being your past because it gives the sense of one having learned from past mistakes. Anyway I stray from the topic, great write and I loved the effort. 5/5.
