Neverland's Youth

by Kaylee   Aug 22, 2006


Alone with shattered heartbeats
in solitude of Neverland's pulse
straw bent circular, wooden bed
lay smooth double Robin eggs

Sister moon quiet envied them
tears trickled within starry night
Mother Nature soothed them silent
youth speckled in Tinkerbell dust

Alone with shattered heartbeats
Father Time wept in salted tears
timber whispered, whispered soft
in solitude of Neverland's pulse

    Mm. Charming piece! The flow for me was rocky at a few points, but that is just my interpretation. The message and vocabulary was great. Awesome job!

    Very, very interesting.

    The only thing I would change is

    Father Time wept in salted tears

    to

    Father Time wept salted tears

    the 'in' feels like it's only there for syllable's sake and it's not that flowy with it included.

    Very clever writing and ditction.

    Lovely poem, charming even. I do however have one piece of advice. The words were a bit stilted, the flow, while there seemed interupted.

    This has a very sombre feel to it in my opinion. As if nature is crying and somewhat depressed. I liked the imagery very much, it was well described. Honestly, I think shattered and heartbeats portray a slightly cliche idea, maybe it could me described better.
    Thanks for sharing!!
