Caused nothing but a ripple, a trickle you’re fickle

by Matthew Anthony   Jul 3, 2012


And gently we trickle
in amongst the crowd
cause nothing but a ripple
though we shout so loud

you've grasped the mighty rain
and danced in fields of gold
but still, I cant contain
the fact that we grow old

so please, lay down
don't worry about a thing
well, at least for now
our souls will write the songs we sing

chose a path lit up with fire
they'd call it hope
I'll call it desire
see, I don't cope
nor surrender, I render
agenda, is not my friend

    This is a very good poem, Matthew. I really like it, however I think that there are a couple typos in here...

    Typos: second stanza, third line, 'cant' should be 'can't.' Third stanza, last line, I believe that 'are' is supposed to be 'our' because you are taking about YOUR soul.

    'And gently we trickle
    in amongst the crowd
    cause nothing but a ripple
    though we shout so loud'

    ^ Beautiful ending. I loved this. I really have nothing to say about it, just that I thought it was a really, really good beginning. I like how you said that you caused a 'ripple' because it is so true. We are just a little blip in the universe.

    Overall, this is a really good poem. I agree with Paul - punctuation would make this piece a little better.

    Very good poem, Matthew.

    Excellent
    5/5

    I have noticed that some lines are missing commas, place those commas, for example..

    but still I cant contain
    the fact that we grow old
    ....

    There should be a comma between 'still' and 'I'

    and also
    ....so please lay down
    don't worry about a thing...

    a comma should be placed between 'please' and 'lay'..

    lastly...
    see I don't cope
    nor surrender, I render
    agenda is not my friend..

    between 'see' and 'I'..

    overall, i gave this piece a 5 cause it was good and i enjoyed it. Well written and i must say, your style of writing is amazing, i lie it very much.
