This was an extraordinary piece- I don't think I have ever found a poem to use that word for. "Extraordinary".
But this was excellent, really. The rhyming scheme, in the middle and the end of the lines, tied everything up so nicely and neatly, and yet, I wasn't forced to depend on it at any point in time- and the flow was smooth enough that no punctuation was ever need, a truly rare occurence. The concept behind the piece was excellent as well- as were the use of language and phrasing. Loved it.
I'm never disappointed by the creativity shown in your pieces. :)
Overall, wonderful job here. :)
Normally I cringe from rhyme schemes in poetry, but this piece is an incredible feat of explaining a way of thought that's unexplainable. Genuine, inspired, loaded with imagery that flows through. The rhyme doesn't overpower the poem, and words come natural, instead of seeming forced. What a way of thinking that is remarkably rare these days. Your poetry is always very natural and exploding with emotion, even though the tone may be calm. I love the part about burning your feet. It always seems that you have to experience the worst before you can fully appreciate what you are and what makes that so. Life is a funny fickle thing compared to the legacy you choose to leave, and nothing lasts forever. This is brilliant work!
most of all, I enjoyed the work you've put in putting together the metre for this piece, wonderfully fluent!
first half of the poem seemed far more inspired than 2nd; bit after the burned feet it loses motion, not entirely, of course, but it calms down, out of momentum. it can be viewed twofolded, but i won't go into that now. mostly, there would be a way around usual expressions of fulfilment & life-changing experiences, yet here everything still keeps its balance, showing your interpretion and usual approaches.
it's melodious and energetic, colourful; though first bit 'till 'burnt feet' + the metre - what i found mostly skillful & orginally characteristic, having features solely by you.
Wow!
Quite a philisophical poem love, really profound imagery here~:)
A clever piece that offers a lot of meaning between surreality:)
Wonderful work!
The burning and vividness to the wording and observation is stunning!
Awesome poem
xx
*clapping* bravo! Wow your rhyme and meter is perfection in this one!!!!
I love it sooooo much..it dances off the tongue and the discriptive phrases is wonderful..
Only one thing that I would change:
and by seeing thinking doing being we have just begun
toss my pennies to some wind take off our shoes and let us run.
if you take out the 'let us' in the second line..it flows even better! :)
