A Frozen Hourglass (Concrete)

by Kasie   Feb 21, 2017


The endless days that slowly pass

As the sun rises and sets.

Sand lingers in an

Hourglass

Of

Lost time

And life’s regrets

With broken dreams and

Darkened shadows of silhouettes.

    Kasie, I will apologise now for missing this absolute beauty of a piece, I have been poorly. As Mr D said it's a real shame we cannot format these concrete forms (a reason I stay clear of them) but maybe in time we can, here's hoping. I do love the format, shape and content. It's awesome.

    Those kinds of days are the worse especially when depression is kicking your ass as they seem to pass much more slowly and darker and even more so when there's nobody to pass the time with. It's kind of the same sh it but a different day. Maybe that's just me though.

    I love the imagery here. Just beautiful but sad too in a way. I felt my whole body sigh when I read this part for some reason.

    All I can say with this is it's a beautifully crafted ending. We should never regret things we have done but those we haven't because well, we haven't tried them lol.. I guess we all have broken dreams, things we have wanted to do but have been unable to do them for one reason or other and well the last line says it all.

    Take care, Em

    Nice shape here. It's a shame that we can't format poems exactly how we want to. Maybe Janis will work on this needed change?

    Kasie, so very well done. With this new site, not the easiest feat.

      Thank you. I'm hoping that one day we can be a little more creative with styles like concrete poems... like maybe a butterfly or something along those lines.

    I liked the message here Kasie, as also the hour glass effect. Well done!
