In Poems

the never bird gave up
her nest to save a boy
so keen on single destruction
death seemed like a very big adventure

and Heathcliff plumetted into
a life long lady-bird trap
Catherine serving as an
interim balm, until she gave
up

to lose the fever one must
sweat the poisin

reason never entered into this mess
this madness
of never ending stories
and jolly roger nonsense

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

and I'm stuck for an ending guys...HELP!

thanks Brian. I found that I only understood the first two stanzas so I am scrapping this piece and starting over again. Thanks again for the crit.

I hate to say this, but I don't get it. Maybe if I spent more than five minutes contemplating it I could, but I don't get what you're getting at. However, I can say that I do not like the third stanza; just don't like lines that try to be profound.



It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language
