Moments

In Poetic Garble :]

There was a moment, yesterday.
Your breath caught, my stomach
Twirled like a leaf in the breeze.
We struggled to find the words;
Fought to make it known.

A muttered goodbye and the need
For time and space. Underneath,
Our only need is each other. Time.
It heals all wounds; mine only seem
Deeper.

Unanswered and unasked;
The questions that we daren't know.
Let alone voice. The mighty silences
That make my ears ring. That make
My heart pine.

Before, a comfort that was as present,
As you or I. The unspoken truth,
Gentle as that first touch.
The first moment, when -
Your breath caught.
My stomach twirled.

The last moment.

I really enjoyed this poem.
I admit I didn't feel as much of the emotion as I had hoped, though I still understood the feeling the poem gave out.
I loved the language you used, it really gave across a good written feel, and the punctuation was well used as well.
In general, I thought this was a well written poem which I would happily find out more about, such as some description inside it.

Good Luck!!

I think this poem really catches that feeling that is hard to describe when you fall for someone that hard.

''Twirled like a leaf in the breeze.''

I really like the way you have compared the feeling to that, to something so natural and floaty

Me likes this poem much =]

I liked this for the most part; the imagery and expression were very unique. There was a lot of emotion that I could definately sense, but it didn't seem over the top.

One thing that bugged me, though was that some of the line breaks and word choices seemed off. Like:

A muttered goodbye and the need

For time and space. Underneath,

Our only need is each other. Time.

It heals all wounds; mine only seem

Deeper.

I think it would sound better as:

A muttered goodbye
And the need for time and space.
Underneath, our only need is (for) each other.
Time
It heals all wounds,
(But) mine (are) only deeper

I really didn't understand what this poem was about but it was well written. Well done.

There was a moment, yesterday.(It would be better if you cut the comma)
Your breath caught, my stomach
Twirled like a leaf in the breeze.
We struggled to find the words;
Fought to make it known.

A muttered goodbye and the need(A comma here)
For time and space. Underneath,
Our only need is each other. Time.(Put a comma for the first period)
It heals all wounds; mine only seem(A comma here)
Deeper.

Unanswered and unasked; (This was really good)
The questions that we daren't know. (I don't know but it would seem better if you put 'ask')
Let alone voice. The mighty silences(A comma here)
That make my ears ring. That make(Both should be 'That makes')
My heart pine.

Before, a comfort that was as present,(Shouldn't this should be 'pleasent'?)
As you or I. The unspoken truth,
Gentle as that first touch.
The first moment, when -
Your breath caught.
My stomach twirled.

The last moment.

Well, you had used deep words and and meaningful phrases. It did your poem good. Great work.

Well done. :D



I love how we all band together to break things...
