Adventures

Adventures

A Poem by Farhan Shaikh

All those insane calls
From the place that we've never been.
wandering alone
On the strayed paths.
Roads we leave
to follow the trails..
Once again when we do something
For the first time
When we escape the ordinary
To fill our souls..
That's when the Adventure begins..

Your poem reminds me of a Romanian poem named "O, plecarile, plecarile..."(translation: Oh, departures, departures...) written by Aron Cotrus. In my opinion, both poems contain the same message:
An indomitable human wish. Humans always had the need to know and to see more, a need for travel, a need for change. The verses "All those insane calls
From the place that we've never been." are the perfect image of this wish. The human soul can't be caged, so our solution is traveling. We leave the usual for the exotic until the exotic becomes usual too ("For the first time
When we escape the ordinary
To fill our souls..").


I think you shouldn't use the ellipsis after the words "trails" and "souls" because when you use the ellipsis at the end of the poem, it will give a more intense feeling to the reader. In short, don't use too many ellipses (this opinion is subjective).

In conclusion, I think you wrote a good poem with a good message. I suggest you read the Romanian poem which has the same message as yours because it will teach you how to exaggerate some elements when you write a poem (in a good way).


Good luck!

I do feel a yearning for adventure, and i love how this captures the essence of that feeling, short and sweet but full of yearning to as you say "... follow the trails..."
