Winter air

by NineteenMinutes   Apr 27, 2009


I pull my coat tighter against the winter air,
passing cars that have fallen into disrepair,
empty, hollow streets, shadows dance around,
silence that is smothering, i dare not make a sound,
frost on the outside, this reflects the in,
there's sharp block of ice i hold under my skin,
walking to no where, because there's no home,
wandering endlessly, deserted, all alone,
diamonds could not shatter me, I'm broken already,
I've fallen down and my legs are not steady,
who'll remember me? who'll care?
i pull my coat tighter against the winter air.

    There's a few grammar and punctuation errors, but I still gave this a 5/5. I love winter settings; it's the perfect catharsis, when you feel isolated or want to be alone. Great job :)

    I absolutely love, love love the ending. The pure and simple repitition you placed at the end was used in such a way that it was able to capture my attention and at the same time finished it beautifully. This was a great concept, far from the cliche usages of words and metaphors, it was a great poem. There were small parts were the flow was a bit off, but even that didn't draw my attention away from this poem. 5/5
