For there is no music to calm her soul..

From a word bank challenge on another site.

In the game of hide and seek, there is nowhere to go
Lost in the land where ghost lay,
There are no sounds of the ballet sounding out
No music to calm her soul.
Her school of thoughts, like a dictionary, word for word
She searches out new meanings, haiku pieces
All rhyming together to form random thoughts.
Her initiative was to try and find the truth of it all
Endless nights of staying awake, staring into the nothingness
Of the darkest of moments, space beyond her reach
Cups of coffee lay scattered at her feet
Applications of her life lay inside a photo book
Taped neatly, showing throughout the years
From her birthday of one and up, teenage years,
To marriage, joy and love, children and dreams
Yet all is never what it seems.
For ultimately sometimes all comes to an end
Divorce. Oh how fast her happiness did descend.

And she softly sighs..

For there is no music to calm her soul.
For in the game of hide and seek,
There is nowhere to go..

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is amazing. You made each words come alive in this poem. You create some good visions with this poem. Music can calm the soul if we listen. But it is true. Somethings we can't play hide or seek with pain and memories. Must face the demons and move on. A outstanding poem. A lot of good emotion in this poem.

I was going to comment on the poem, but I do that often with you and not just some rambling idea of where it took me.
To get THOSE words ina word bank and have the piece not only make sense, BUT hide the words so well that it brims with talent on the part of the poet.

Excellent job

Wow, I wondered about those words, but you did manage to make it seem fit in a way..I like the way you come full circle in the end and the rhyming scheme too ^^ You go girl:P

Nice writing, Magdelena! It has a little atmosphere to it, and seems to describe the course of love though our lives in a slightly mystical way? Overall, it seems to express a cynical view of love. However, is this based on personal experience, the experiences of others or observations made by the writer? At the end, I was left with the impression - that love can be a game which traps the unwary! Some interesting thoughts. Thankyou!

You seemed to suck the soul right out of the settings.
I thought it was uncomfortable to be in such a welcoming
environment, but still feel so empty. It was all hollow to me.
That really made the lonesome feeling so powerful. It really
felt like she was the only thing with a heart and soul..or simply
a spirit.

I feel that your intent was 100% executed. This is indeed
one of my favorite works of yours.

Her school of thoughts, like a dictionary, word for word

Though we must be educated on the basics of the world we must also challenge what we hear to be sure of the truth.

I just love this poem.

Only you could take a random collection of words like this and turn them into one of your characteristically enigmatic poems. Simply breathtaking in the acheivement.

[Patches I'm not so new..]
