Quatrains

She spoke about clarity

He felt it too

And thought of his unspoken words

If she only knew.

Nameless flowers in the wild

They bloom, they grow and they die

No one sees them as they pass by

Except for the children’s innocent eyes.

Why do you flare?

You know I don’t have it in me

If only you would care

I would’ve been what you wanted me to be.

Nothing to lose nothing to gain

Nothing to choose no colour to stain

No sign of hope am I going insane?

Feeling so dry standing in the rain.

Don’t always speak of it

When in sorrow or in pain

If your silence don’t sway them

Then words are in vain.

Reviews

[Tai Chi Italy]

I enjoyed all of these quatrains, they all have a depth of enquiry that we can all identify with, I particularly liked No 2, as it speaks to the child in me. I would suggest changing 'don't sway them' to won't sway them, just for grammatical preference, but hey! don't is fine with me too, but as the quatrains goes, I am a big mouth who can't stop the words from flowing, whether they listen or not. I also loved that previous one ad particular, feeling so dry standing in the rain. I know that feeling well. Smiling at you, glad to have found your work, Tai

[Imperfection]

I usually point out my favorite lines in the writings I review but that won't be possible here...I cannot decide if I like one part more than the other.

I haven't seen many pieces such as this. I wish I could write like you.

[Poeticpiers]

a ueful format for most purposes your finale is really good

[Geoffers]

This is good work. Do you write in this format often?

[Adela Muresan]

A wonderful combination between sadness, beauty , philosophy and love.

The last strophe is brilliant.
