For All It Can Be

In Poetry

All it is-
is drowning;
buried in ones own cares.
All it is-
is falling;
lost beyond the wares.
All it is-
is running
out of heart and home.
All it is-
is crying
out for ones own

All it was-
was nothing,
compared to all you dream.
All it was-
was helpless,
fraying at the seams.
All it was-
was destined
to wither with timely fall.
All it was-
was everything;
hope for dusk till dawn.

At first, this poem makes me feel upset and seperated from everything. It makes me feel alone and as if i were nothing, but as it progressed it started to lighten my mood and the final line "all it was- was everything; hope for dusk till dawn" made me seem m,ore hopeful, yet still slightly negative. I think the poem flowed well and was set up in a clever way. I also thought that "all it was-was destined to whither with timely fall" was a very powerful, though negative line. It was by far my favourite part of the poem and i though you did really well with this one. Good job, and keep it up.

I don't usually read poetry, so you probably shouldn't take what I say to heart, but I liked this poem.
It's true the lack of punctuation did turn me off a bit but seeing how short the poem was I decided it wouldn't hurt to read it through. And at least I can say I wasn't disappointed. It was a nice poem with a nice flow to it and even someone like me, whose not a poetry enthusiast, could follow it.
So good job and keep up the good work! I'll check out some of your other posts when I get the chance!

I thought this was about broken or not achieved dreams... But now I doubt. I didn't really get it ^_^ But it reminded my of my mistakes. We make so much mistakes, and if not- we're just lucky.


Rhyming is cool, but not too cool. also appearance is little bit .. you know, ugly ^_^


But I felt emotion, the bad one -_-

Try more constructive way. :)

Hi there.

The appearance makes it difficult for the reader to actually want to read, for it lacks punctuation and capitalization, and that makes most people lazy. It'd be a shame if someone sees it without reading and just closes the tab, because this is one beautiful poem<3 It flows neatly and the wording is lovely. Congratulations on that.

Now, now.... I'm going to show you how I'd do it, you either take it or leave it, it's fine. :) Just suggestions.
