This Morning I Woke Up

by N J Thornton   Mar 13, 2006


This morning I woke up - alone
The bird of dawn was looking queer
What be the worth of early dew
Alike, our Mother sheds a tear?

Upon my rise - the sun also
Reflects my face, a tarnished veil
In the crevasse of your absence
Lays a sole golden symbol - stale

    I really like this poem. As I said on 'Clap', it's very modern, but I definitely like this one.

    You use very interesting metaphors and personification. A great style, really, even if it's not what I would normally prefer. xD

    What you've written is great, might do with being a little longer - like a greater description of the scene?
    Still love it though
