1080P

A Poem by Cole Hayley
"

A return of sorts to my old poetry style. Inspired by the night sky.

"

1080P 


Take a picture of the moon,

So you know what if feels like to be weak. 


It will come in tiny pixels,

Propelled by vibrations of colour

And stained in a smoke screen.


Ask yourself if its worth the memory space

Ask yourself if it should be erased. 


The answer will always be the same. 


The nighthawks will be stagnant in the background, 

Their wings stretched out and frozen. 


The blood soaked clouds enrich the horizon, 

As the mountain peaks flourish,

And the milky way spills over the skyline. 


I'd like to think that theres some kind of life up there,

Something else to share this beauty,

Hovering over oblivion. 


But in the end that only makes me feel sad.


Lonely.


Brittle. 


Insignificant. 


I don't want to feel like that. 


I don't want to feel weak...

So I press delete

The descriptive narrative you used in this were stunningly beautiful to me. A photograph may seem insignificant to millions as they happen across it in a newspaper or online. But, to the photographer who snapped it, that image, frozen eternally in time and space, spoke something monumental and profound to them. It has a history behind it to them and carries along with it baggage stuffed with memoris. At least until it is...deleted.

I was wondering the whole way through what you were writing about, but that last line is enpowering.
Could it be that you throw away some of your work, some of the, perhaps, more genuine and significant to you peices...Thats what I get from this, and it's another thing that I can relate too, and I love pieces that are relatable. My favourite line [other than the last] is 'The Blood Soaked Clouds Enrich The Horizon', such beautiful imagery, oh yes, and before I forget again, there is typo in the first verse;
If, I think you meant it to be It instead? [If you didn't I'd change it because it makes more senes]

Anyway, sorry for the extensive review, it's a very good piece. Keep writing =]
