There go the flying pigs...

by N J Thornton   Sep 14, 2005


Collapsing into an eternal pit of
nothingness - not even a shadow for company.
Deeper and deeper...
How am I supposed to bounce back up,
When I'm left with no ground to stand on.
Like a dainty, tainted snowflake, falling and falling...
STOP!
"There go the flying pigs," I'd say
"You look fine, dear" is the reply.
No one can ever see them high
up in the sky at noon.
As no one has ever bothered to glance
into my reflection.
And into what is no longer there

    Good job! And yeah it did sound a bit confusing, But when i re-read it, Theres little sections in there that mean different things, I think. Well to me they did. Anywho, 5/5 I really liked this poem!
