Orphaned Poem--for Jad/Austin

by Sunshine   Jan 29, 2011


I find my self lost, undefined
through your subtle sadness,
diving through broken
sentences that cling on the
back of my mind, like an
immortal beat

that's leaping from your
fragments and adjectives,
into my literal world,
cracked like a semicolon
that's hanging too, at the end
of your lines

just like when my wistful
sentiments dangle,
whenever your expressions
leave me lost, undefined;
an orphaned poem

    Diving through the broken
    sentences that cling
    ^You don't need 'the' here.

    that's leaping from your
    fragments and adjectives,
    into my literal world,
    cracked like a semicolon
    that's hanging too, at the end
    of your lines
    ^Loved this! Such originality here.

    sentiments hang over,
    ^Try to find a new word here for 'hang' not only does it seem awkward, you just used hanging a few lines above.

    A wonderful write, I would have to agree that's kind of what it feels like as you read his sad poetry. What a interesting poem to write about how someone else's poetry makes you feel. I like the idea!

    Nana, I do believe you have just about broken me down. :] This poem means so much to me and I can't help but be overwhelmed by the impact my poetry has over you. Your emotions coming out of this poem are beautiful and very sad showing how you feel and I am very moved by it. The way you word everything has an impact in the poem and I can't even find one part that I like the best.

    I am deeply touch more then anything with this poem as it is about me and I am very honored that you would even do such a thing for my poetry, which I consider to be mediocre at the most. Yet, you seem to find something touching in each one and bring it to life in this poem.

    So in all, I would like to thank you for taking your time to write such a beautiful piece of poetry with so much meaning and emotions just for my work. You have blown me away with even the simpliest of a poem. Great job and keep writing! :]
