Girl of the wind

by Choose xX Alex Xx Life   Jul 27, 2006


The shadows of the trees, as the evening draws near,

the trees tend to rustle this time of the year,

a young alive girl sits on the grass all alone,

the waving of the trees represents the girls tone,

her eyes the same color as the beautiful sky,

the slow paced clouds watch her as they fly by,

the whistle of the owl, sings a song in her head,

so why does this girl wish she was dead?

the evening mist wraps a blanket round the girl,

protecting her from harm in this world,

depression has bullied her and pushed her round,

thats why she lays here head upon the ground,

so lonely so miserable she lays down and cries,

dropping the pills next to her, as she softly dies.

    This was so sad and it reminded me of the poems that I started out writing to escape my depression. This was a great poem. *5/5*

    Girlie Goo,

    This is a much better poem than "Misery Hurts". The vision is quite good, the flow is also nice. I think there are some improvements that can be taken care of which I will point out.

    First of all the flow and the content of your poem until the last 3 lines gave me a vision of a still image of a girl sitting under trees.... and the like... but the last three lines plunge the vision to motion, the girl moves and movement was not something that I had expected. I n the above context itself, the line

    "a young alive girl sits on the grass all alone," tells teh reader that the girl is sitting; then the line

    "thats why she lays here head upon the ground," tells him that she has lain down which did confuse me a bit as there was no continuity in the Vision; but thenso lonely so miserable "she lays down and cries,
    again the next line " just put me off. How can she lay down again, once she has just lain down.

    Also "lays" must be "lies" in the line "thats why she lays here head upon the ground," which would better the language flow. The ending is ok for me, I did not particularly love it but neither did it seem odd. But yes, "softly dies" put me off.

    For a suicidal and tragedic poem, your poem has quite a light flow and a nice nature imagery. I would have also liek to see the ending described over say 3 lines rather than that one line.
