Wow Jack...okay. I'll have to give you an A then.
What a very interesting way to interpet that...
That was great.
It's about Liverpool winning the Champions League. The "partner" imagery is actually referring to the European Cup, rather than a person. E.g. "and they all got to kiss you" refers to the fact the players all kissed the trophy when they won it.
In fact, the whole idea came from the news that, Steven Gerrard (the Liverpool Football Captain) slept with the European Cup in his bedroom that night. So I wrote this poem from his perspective. It's been his dream to life the European Cup like the Liverpool legends of old and he completed his dream. Hope that alleviates everyone's confusion.
So like...what's it about then? It is about a relationship, is it not?
I do agree with Mattie though...the first stanza was a little awkward.
*laughs* Yup, that's it.
No wonder I didn't get it. Is that the lump under your covers? Heh
AHA! I get it!
It was very very lovely... you are speaking of football as in English terms I suppose because over here it's called Soccer. Football here is a game played mostly by throwinng the oval shaped ball.... yeah... anyway vey lovely poem... nice..
does anyone watch football? (smiling goodnaturedly)
nice poem dear, that game was wicked.
I really liked the line "the last time you felt alive
i wasn't even born."
thats some great imagery there.
cheers CL
so now I'm really curious..what is it about? my only other guess would be drinking...but that doesn't work. your mom? oy, I dunno. But now I NEED to know!
and I did like this, although it confused me, if it were clearer I would like it better
The liverpool game? the red reference, and singing.. "won you", and "in istanbul when the stars were red
and the world sang for us", and "the last time you felt alive
i wasn't even born." shall I continue?
and the first time I read this, I thought it might be about a girl, but it didn't quite feel like it... so the game it must be.
makes me think of one of the pictures you posted..
Haha, it's not about a guy either.
I never said it was though. I was just pointing stuff out. I knew it was about a guy. What you wrote about him and her just didn't seem clear.
It's not about a girl. But then I expected most people would think it was.
This wasn't bad...but it was weird. Especailly the opening:
It's just really confusing and you need to sort some things out. I'm sure it'll be good once you make some changes. I think you have a great idea here, Jack, you just need to think about it a little bit more. You seemed to just put down whatever came to your mind and it made it seem weird. Be sure to go through it and make everything more clearly. I think this would also be better as a story, but that's just my opinion.
i woke up with you in my arms
with a smile as wide as you
on my face.
That made me laugh, and then it made me think that you were calling her fat.
Also:
this time forever in my cabinet
last time you felt alive
i wasn't even born.
Is she older than him or what?
Basically, every stanza I was caught of guard and they didn't seem to flow smoothly. You also seem to make it very confusing for the reader to know what happened and what's going on. Was she a girl in a bar or a whore or what?! Because you talking about "winning" her unless it's winning her over.
