echoes and memories

PreviousNext

Well, I got bored again. So here's some poetry. Enjoy. Created using a combination of lines from the poetry line generator, and my own ones. 


echoes and memories

the memories of winter echo in stillness
of the world's forgotten streets
and those flickering lights of time embrace
the leaves from your past, and turn
from green to gold to brown, and red,
like blood seeping from old wounds,
and the flare of colour from a setting sun;

and the waves of pain sleep inside,
like a raging river, angry and afraid;
it is almost like a sea of sorrow,
deep and unending, unerring, like 
the turning of the seasons. winter, summer,
autumn and spring, cold and dark to bright
and brighter; a harmony of voices in the streets

they echo loss and hope;
a memory of times long forgotten.

Your personification is flawless, i love

and the waves of pain sleep inside,
like a raging river, angry and afraid;
it is almost like a sea of sorrow,

That's amazing how an ocean can have so much sorrow and rage weaved together, great job with that! And the feeling of the poem catches the reader, which is a very good. Lots of similes, which mean lots of description! You scored great! :D I really don't see any grammar mistakes, which is great! And pretty much yea, that's it you could really feel the emotion flooding through, and the best part is that you wrote this poem when you were bored, which in my opinion is amazing, since you can feel waves of emotion in your writing, I don't see that often. Great job and rock on! Keep writing! :D

I'll start off by saying that this is beautiful. The amount of description is beautiful. I do wish that I would know what lines are from what, whether that be you or the generator. I think that as a hole, the poem is slightly overwhelming. The description is beautiful but I'm not really understanding most of the meaning. Now, that is probably just me and maybe I'm not looking deep enough. I don't want to say less description will make it better, but maybe more lines between all the description to kind of amp up the meaning of the poem. I will, however, say that the most beautiful line to me was; "and the waves of pain sleep inside, like a raging river, angry and afraid;" and even though you wrote "ragging" instead of "raging" which I'm assuming is what you meant, it's beautiful, raw and truthful to the description of pain.

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I must have hit the g key twice. :O And thanks again. I'm glad you like it. ^^

Hey, ScarlettFire!

So, you used some lines from the Poem Generator, hmmm? I couldn't tell to be honest, but that's because you've used the same style to fit the lines, like it is your own word - it is quite creative actually, I'm not sure if anyone has mixed their own work and the sites generator before, but still! This is a very unique idea. I enjoyed reading this poem. Each time I read it, I think, "Hm. I never thought of that before." It is very open to interpretation. I like the lack of capitals, it makes me think of how an echo doesn't really have a capital letter or any punctuation, because it is merely sound, so it is related to your title. Very clever. I also liked how you linked in nature with Echoes and Memories, as they are too natural just like the seasons, and the sun and leaves. All of your poem linked to one another. I can't say, "Well stanza three doesn't relate" because it does. Now, if this is a poem when you're bored - imagine what you can accomplish when you set your heart on writing a poem! You certainly have the talent to do so.

Yours sincerely,
Traunt

Thanks, Traunt! I've actually done lines from the poetry line gen and mixed them with my own lines before. Feel free to check out previous poems of mine (all you lovers and the dancer). I glad you enjoyed it!

Hee hee ^-^ sure. I'll take a look!
You're welcome.
