Cleaning Up The Wreckage Of The Past

by RainbowSlider   Jul 3, 2006


I chose today not to live in destruction.
Today my life is under major reconstruction.
Somewhere in this garbage dump is a home.
I want it to look good even if I am alone.
I wasn't really crazy about bending down.
But you should see all the pennies I found.
Bagging all the garbage; So much I stored.
Hills of garbage; Too much to be ignored.
Wanting a relief from the filth; I clean.
I was so surprised how much I missed green.

    It express how important it can be to clean up in you 'closet' once in a while XD

    The poems allegori reminds me of, that sometimes you have to put your life on pause, and look where your heading and where you've been. To me, that's an very important message, cause who knows, maybe you'll sucseed in diggin up a hidden juvel somewhere in the pile of unimportant things that usually try to control your life.

    In a way the flow nearly sounded forced...as did the rhyming. But the way that this was presented gave a more meaningful feel that the flow was unable to convey. The words themselves had been far more stronger than the flow/rhyme. Still the first two lines personally seemed to be by far the stronger lines.

    I loved that! It was short and sweet and very clear. I don't know mean clean literally or not, but whatever you're doing, good luck with it. Great Poem 5/5.
