Rumors, cars, people,
mischievous faces, attentiveness,
train terminates.

Language, differences,
never quietness, monotony,
people talking,
saying nothing;
throughout silence
eyes define everyone.

Accent characterizes us ,
ohh ... culture always in your veins,
you can't escape your origins,
always there.

We are travelers,
lost, confused,
this is our humanity.

Hi Iamnotperfect! I like this. I really don't think it's that weird. I like the way it flows a lot. It's really hard to get a poem to flow without making up corny rhymes, believe me. You really did a great job on this.

iamnotperfect wrote:Language, differences,


I would change "language" to "languages," just because the word "differences" is plural.

I like that you said this, but I'll be blunt in telling you that I don't like how it's said. Please take no offense at this: it's the sort of thing you would hear somebody say in conversation. "They aren't talking, but in reality they're saying nothing." There's just something unpoetical about it. Ugh, I don't know why! How about ...

people talking,
saying nothing,


To me, it gets the point across without breaking the flow of the poem.

Overall, great work! Keep writing!

Hi there. :)

This is a really cool, good poem and I enjoyed it so much, but there are nitpicks:

Rumors, cars, people another comma, you're listing things
mischievous faces, attentiveness comma
train terminates.


culture always in your vein, "Vein" should have an S.
you can't escape your origins,


We are travelers,
lost, confused, I feel like you should use different punctuation here, since "This is our humanity" seems like a completely new thought.
this is our humanity.


Great job, I loved it.
Write on and PM me for anything.

throughout silence
eyes define everyone.

My favorite line :)
Write on.

Hi CreativeFreak thanks for the punctuation adjustments they were actually needed and to be honest I was in a rush when I sent it, also I am happy that you appreciated this style of writing. Hi Abigal thanks for the constructive advice, I think I will make that change on the second stanza however I prefer language to be the way I left it for now. ;)
