The Words Unread

by unknown   Feb 14, 2010


The boy came, with no friend
to a strange, new land
Wanted to rewrite,
life that never seemed bright.

He tried to blend with the crowd,
talked and laughed out loud.
People started to notice him
Yet, he wasn't part of the team

As the time passed by, he started to realize,
The decision once he made was unwise.
It was too late choose other path.
His days were filled by regret and wrath.

When life became harder to be lived on
A friend of him came with a shoulder to lean on
Unknowingly, he fell for the girl.
She had his feeling swirled.

The girl left, without saying a word,
While he was standing on top of the world.
He tried to find his life's pearl,
Yet what was left was scent of her.

His world was tattered
His heart was shattered
His life was battered
His feeling was spattered

Unexpectedly she returned
To the realm once she burned
Yet, he was just too blind to discern
A lesson of life he should've learnt

He had never been too smart,
She stabbed him, right on the heart
He bled to death.
She was just glad

The boy now is dead
Only soul living in dread
Left with words unread
And thoughts unsaid

    I liked the ending I thought it was pretty strong but for most of the other parts you just seem like your trying way to hard and forcing words where you shouldn't. Poetry isn't always about rhyming you have to feel the words in your heart and write them almost as fast as you feel them. Sometimes punctuation is good and sometimes it isn't. You can always add or take out words to help with flow and punctuation should only be where you want it to be its your poem. So for example start the poem like this...

    A boy arrived without a friend,
    Into a strange new land.
    Wanted to write a brand new life,
    But knew he'd need a hand.

    Something like that which isn't forced and keeps the flow. You never want to just throw the first word in that ryhmes. Think of 5 or 6 words then choose the best one and write around it.

    Let me know if you choose to fix this up I'll wait until then to vote :) nice work though you'll get it
