E - Everyone

Two Realities

PreviousNext

Another sky, crystal blue
Diamond drops for clouds
A dream of warmth and life

Barren sky, ash and smoke
Deserted with no stars
A world of breaking hearts

Sugared melodies and
Silver bells echoing with
Untarnished innocence

Salted caramel tears
Dark, ebony storm clouds
Veiling an abyss of despair

A waxen candle flickering with
Fragile embers of kindness
Extinguishable by a single breath

Shadowed plethoras of silence
Cracked, gray-ice hearts, and the
Pale, piercing snow, always

Falling,
Falling,
Falling.

hey! up for a review to have the Blue fish team on top.

the piece is really interesting and attracts the readers. the way you compared the two different conditions of the same thing and yet having the same end was really good. it comes out powerfully.

the diamonds for the sky, the flickering flame of candle ,the snow, those caramel tears and storm cloud fit in perfectly and made the piece to reach its ending successfully. I really loved it.

your style of putting up words and expressing the meaning out is thumbs up. The description of everything from sky to life and to that flickering flame was amazing. I enjoyed reading it.
if something is more than what i get from reading it then do tell me. I would love to know it.

hope to read more of you.
Stay awaken, keep writing.

Hey there, I'm here to review your poem.

First off, I love the polar opposites yet the slight similarities to the different realities you described in the poem.

Between life and death and the connection. Almost felt as though you related life to the seasons. The birth of life, spring. The warmth, summer. To then the harsh clouds, fall and the ice and snow, winter. But for the ending to be the words "falling" as if to return back to the beginning to the ice turning into diamonds for the sky. Very nice transition I may say. I love the way you worded this line:

"A waxen candle flickering with
Fragile embers of kindness
Extinguishable by a single breath"

Really, REALLY love the way this was worded. Well done. Keep writing

Thanks so much for the review!



Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
