Have You Ever {Sedoka}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Jan 24, 2007


Snowflakes

Have you ever seen
Snowflakes dancing to the ground?
Lost in dreams of tomorrow?

Speaking graciously,
They fall to the ground, dancing,
Waiting to be accepted.

Rain

Have you ever seen
Rain glisten in deathly sun?
Sparkling for tomorrow.

Crying out to hear
What tomorrow left behind;
Forgotten, they sing of time.

    It's unusual but good. Nice to see someone try some different forms of poetry. I love anything about rain, and the part of how it cries out what tomorrow left behind is unusual and neat! I enjoyed!
