Published December 1, 2005
Long ago I dreamt you falling,
And in that moment had a longing:
To watch your graceful shapes pass by,
In white raiment, from the sky.
I was thinking of a dream I had when I was 4...

Ahaha, yes, which is why I was surprised this re-surfaced.
Thanks anyhow!
I agree that is it Short, Simple, and Sweet...in whatever order you want to put that in.
But there is also nothing that makes you want to read it again. It's just kind of so short and simple that you read it, it does nothing for you, so you forget it.
But in the Short, Sweet, Simple way...it's good =]
Thank-you!
Umm...can I repeat everyone else?
Short and sweet and cute and simple. I like!

My, when did this resurface?! Hahaha
Please, please, don't get worked up about what Brad said. Where would we be without him? I admire his bluntness 
Now I think of it, this poem does sound like a rambling. However, Brad, I thank you for commenting on the fact I could and have done better, I'm actually nervous of posting poems because of you! 
(understandably so; and not in a bad way!)
, and Sohini for spicing up the "short and sweet" comment 
Again thank-you all
hmm what should i say... evryone seems to have used my favourite Bjorn-poem-comment-line (short and sweet) so i'll say it in Bengali ---- "Chhotto, shundor, mishti kobita" whicgh means (oder of words are same in meaning "small, beautiful, sweet poem"
meow-you're sending in a lot of poems-cool!
lexy >> Although I hesitate to say "flaming", this is not the place to complain about Brad. If you have a problem with a member, contact a moderator or administrator THROUGH PM, not in a topic. Not th placce to do it.
Uh... lexy?
That really wasn't that necessary. If you don't agree with someone that's fine, but it's no reason to tell them that they're a horrible person and should be ignored. o.O
*slams mouse on the table*
Argh... BRAD YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO HORRIBLE SOMETIMES.
i can't bear it.
This poem was amazing.... although rainment isn't a word.... but come on!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please don't take what he says to heart... its too good to be for a blog.
lexy xxxx

What folly, I say.
I think it was nice, Bjorn. Short and sweet (as seems to be the common consensus around here), thoroughly enjoyable.

I'm actually nine... I'll need to fix that.
Bjorn, I liked the even meter,and the flow of the words. Very " Snow-flake-like." I really enjoyed the rhythm of it all.

Bjorn,
This belongs in your blog, not on the poetry forum.
You have produced and are capable of producing much better.
Best,
Brad
'Tis simple, but very pretty. I like how you create such a vivid picture in the readers mind using so few words.
Thank ye *bows*
That just about sums it up. I like that you are able to get right to the point and still leave the reader with that imagery and feeling...nice job. :thumb:
Haha! Funny how much poems are regarded as metaphors. I like to keep mine to the point, but then again, the meaning is all up to the reader
Things I was aware of, yet unsure of.
I actually had a fight with myself with the spelling of graceful (bleh), but thank you! As for 'rainment' I meant 'raiment', sorry and thanks. And finally the comma, I thought it was ok, but maybe a semi-colon? If not, I think the comma is ok...
And yes, tis about snowflakes (falling).
Rainment isn't a word ...
It was okay, but I can't decide whether you need that comma in the last line. The pause makes it sound better, but the comma is so ungrammatical.
You spelt graceful wrong.
Anyway I liked it. It was simple and sweet and really something that I liked.... Nice Job.
You had a dream about a snowflake?
I thoguth this was describing someone you loved, it was nice and short.
Edit: When I saw 'longing' and 'falling' it doesn't rythme because of my accent but 'by' and 'sky' do.
Thank you.
Three words, Short, Sweet and Simple. Nice work!
