My Solitude

by Lyndy   Aug 12, 2012


I have traveled far and wide,
befriended more than few
I have witnessed friendships die,
and bonds so strong and true

I have seen love manifest,
in someone else's eye
I have felt the quivers of
the slightest touch, divine

I have cried not once or twice,
when hearts break and die
I have felt the loss of love,
and loss of will to try

All these things I've done and more
as boredom, to me, comes by
No wealth have I nor treasures too.
Enclosed in four walls, I stand by

Finding freedom in pieces of paper,
with hard or soft covers fine
Creating my own realities within,
this solitude of mine.

    In this poem too you seem to have a nice understanding of flow and this is one of the better rhyming poems I have seen recently. It has the feel of a old writer looking back on their life, digesting their experiences and putting them to paper.

    The only part where I felt the flow was off was in this line:

    'Enclosed in four walls, I stand by'
    ^^
    It seems like there is a syllable too much in here, maybe you could look over it again. Other than that I thought the rhyme worked. The language was nice and simple and fits the nostalgic tone.

    Well done, keep writing!
