Cascading {Lai}

by Natalie   Aug 15, 2006


Dissolving passions,
With leaking actions,
Dismissed.
Cascading bridges,
Surrounding ridges,
Collapsed.
Haunting memories,
Locked within diaries,
Erased.

Cryptic stories hide,
Covering fake pride,
Obscure.
Releasing anguish,
With bitter English,
Deprived.
Stealing innocence,
Backlashing defense,
Stronger.

    I have never seen that style of poem before, it looks very difficult. Never-the-less, you did a fantastic job, yet again. Your vocabulary is just perfect in all of your poems, using a wide range to describe everything. I love reading your poems. Keep it up. =] 5/5
