Have You?

by Arcane Blondie   Jul 23, 2006


Have you ever watched?
Watched people living their lives,
All in different ways,
All with different stories,

Have you ever wondered about people?
What they were thinking,
How they were feeling,
If they even notice you`re watching,

Have you ever wanted to be other people?
Just to see their life,
Their happiness and pain,
Difficulties and pleasures,

I have,
I have wondered,
And so there I sit, watch,
And I live,
Feeding off of other`s lives.

    Very unique. I like how you start each stanza, beside the last one, with a question and elaborate on it throughout that stanza. I also like how in the last stanza you change from asking the reader, to telling the reader that you have done all of these things you are asking him/her. Good job. 5/5. Keep it up.

    Now, I loved this poem so much because it sounds just like me. I DO watch other people and wish I was others to see how they feel.. Or possibly to take away their pain... But yeah, a great write.. Wonderful job.

    And thank you so much for the kind comments... When you said that I had so much talent and all I smiled and a shiver went up my spine-it reallly meant a lot. Thank you.

    Very good use of questions. Having read only two of your poems, you remind me a lot of myself with what seems to concern you a lot- and that’s mainly life. Those who we see, want to be- but why do we? I guess everyone finds their answers in many different ways- but for me, it's poetry and good poetry like this =].

    If you're interested, I too have written a poem of what imprisoning dreams can do to everyone’s natural life. Check it out if you can, it’s called: To Manipulate a Dream. Please and thank you =].

    God bless,
