Eyes that refuse to see

Search the world

Stare out the window

And pray for a better view



Ears that will not hear

Strain to catch the whispers

Listen to the lies

And long to silence the world



A mouth denied taste

Licks it's lips in desperation

Can not stistfy it's hunger

And waters for the sensation



A nose robbed of smell

Can not stop to sniff the roses

Can not breathe in your scent

And welcomes a chance to revive



A touch that can't feel 

Reaches out in hope 

Is only inches away

And crys for freedom



A heart with out a beat

A person with out a soul

That's all that remained of me

When you left me all alone



I pray you will come home

So I can hate you for all you have done



-------------------------------------------------------------



So obviously there is no punctuation but that is slightly on purpose and slightly because I didn't know what punctuation to use...help?



Just let me know what you think...

Rory, I believe right now, you concentrate on too many ideas, which doesn't let any of them be developed that great. My suggestion is you limit yourself to one or two ideas and develope it fully. As poetry should at least make sense, but the context, it seems more like a few small poems. So if you wish to make this better limit yourself and remember rather than telling us show it.

Overall: Some lines had merit, but none of the stanza really developed the same feeling. Just work on what the poem will end like and develope one or two ideas fully, not letting all the feelings be undeveloped, and vague is good, but as I said none of this make sense in the context. Hope this helps.

Good luck
VSN

This is the sort of thing I love. The type of poem that you can easily imagine yourself in, feeling these types of emotions, such as staring out a window and straining to hear someone esle. Great stuff, well done.

You've protrayed the emotions and theme powerfully in greyish imagery, however my only rub is the moving through the senses. Like Vernon I agree that you're using too much in one poem. Maybe even try focusing on one aspect? It got a little tiring to read, because I predicted what was going to happen next.

Favourite line(s)
