Factor Of 2 worlds

by BreatheNoMore   Mar 8, 2005


A blossoming tree, placed above a concrete plate
Oh the glimpse of beauty keeps me holding on
To a world of love and hate
Vibrant sun setting behind the all-embracing city smog
I’m too drained to enjoy the background from working for
A corporation that proudly profligates
But profitable existence keeps me clinging to
A world of love and hate

    well actually it was meant to be cliche..because i was talking about how the originality in life keeps me holding on, only to be dissapointed by what i see beyond the beauty..and then I swich onto something boring and uncreative, just to swich back onto a more lucid thought..sort of exemplefying the idea as a whole..you see something beautiful in the poem, then you look down the next lines to see something lame only to come to a good point once again which keeps you reading or rather hanging on to the poem

    I really liked this. I admired your beginning symbols and interpretations. My favorite was the first line,
    "A blossoming tree, placed above a concrete plate"
    I love how you contrasted two different symbols onto a more elaborate one and entertwining them into the piece. I also liked your main outlook and concept.
    What I didn't like was the rhym scheme with the, "To a world of love and hate"
    I thought that has been used and is unoriginal. It's too cliche to use in a piece anymore unless it's crucial.
    Overall though, well done
