Comments : Silver lining (triple tectractys)

    Typos: second stanza, second line, 'provent' is supposed to be 'prevent.'

    I really like this poem, Chelsey. I have a feeling that you wrote this because of certain events that have happened in your life...I'm sorry about your car.

    'Life
    comes with
    two outcomes-
    The good and bad
    Molding or destroying who we become'

    ^ I agree with this stanza except for the last line. I don't think that it 'destroys' who we become - it only makes us stronger. Everything that has happened to us has affected us in some way...

    'Corrosion of emotions and the mind,
    provent us from
    seeing the light
    in the
    dark'

    ^ So true. I agree full heartedly with this stanza...it has happened to everyone.

    'Yet,
    there is
    always a
    silver lining
    in the profoundness of each circumstance'

    ^ This one is probably my favorite stanza. There is always a brighter side to everything, but some us are so...blind that we can't even see it. This poem made my day a little brighter, and I am sorry that yours is not going too good.

    Beautiful message

    Excellent

    We all have good and bad days, and at times
    it back to back, always something else
    going wrong. But with each rain there
    comes sunshine. Really enjoyed reading
    excellent written

    Yet,
    there is
    always a
    silver lining
    in the profoundness of each circumstance

    Nicely ended this poem with this last stanza.... I absolutely love the ending line as well, nicely thought up and perfect ending to this poem - I like the message in this as well, theres always a silver lining and more people need to see that. Great poem :)

    5/5

    I loved this! It had such strength, especially the end where you talk about this profoundness through every situation, every circumstance. My favorite word in this poem was "molding" though....a lot of things can break us, but you are so right, there is always light present, even amongst the most destroying fears....

    I think I've done a tectractys before but not a triple one, I like the format a lot, quite unique.

    Short piece but what a message. Thank you for the comment Chelsey and for sharing this gem :]

    Wow, Chelsey.

    Everyone is surprising me so much. That's awesome. I love this poem because it also reads smooth and the message behind it is thought provoking.

    Chelsey, this is awesome.

    I need to do more formed poetry so I can improve on my writing skills. It would be hard to do one of these let alone three in a go!

    I love the meaning behind this poem, what you were trying to convey. I read it a couple of times because the first time I seemed to have concentrated on the formed part of it rather than the actual words. I slowed down to the rythem of the poem, pronouncing each syllable. Then the second time I read it I took in the words and meaning. It has such a positive feel to it!

    I lovvvvved this write.

    Awesome
