Something Different.

I feel something I have never felt before....

I feel something.

I feel something different.

I don’t know what it is,

But I have never felt it before.

 

Think of painting something simple, yet beautiful,

While sitting on a wooden porch.

The view of a wide open field, filled with colorful flowers, before you,

The sky above you gray, with the looming essence of rain.

The smell of it all overwhelms your senses…

 

Yes! The smell! That’s what I feel like.

Did you get the feeling?

No?

 

Think of sitting atop a hill with your favorite book in your lap.

Enjoying the overview of greenery,

Watching the last few rays of the sun as it disappears behind them.

 

Think of lying down on your favorite quilt blanket,

Your book gently kept aside.

Your arms as you pillow, and the sight of a million frosted stars, your ceiling.

The sight of it all drifts your mind far away…

 

That’s it! The sight! That’s what I feel like.

Have you felt it yet?

Have you?

 

Think of a warm cup of coffee, or hot chocolate if you prefer.

Your palms cupping tightly around it,

Seeping in every ounce of warmth it provides on such a cold day.

As you sit in your favorite armchair outside,

With you fuzzy purple socks on,

Breathing in the early morning mist…

 

The breath! Exactly! That’s how I feel.

Do you feel it now?

 

Think of nestling on pale sand,

Your toes and fingers loving their caress,

The sun gently beating down your bare shoulders,

The salty sea air blowing through your hair,

And an innocent smile, creeping on your lips…

 

Perfect! That smile! That’s what I feel like.

Did you get it?

Do you know the feeling now?

 

Think of lying down in bed, wrapped in someone’s arms,

Listening to the soft sounds of the raindrops outside,

A wide open window so close to your bed,

The cold air and the sprinkling rain tickling your feet.

Yet the embrace of someone you love is all you need to keep warm.

 

That’s it! The warmth!

That is how I feel.

Do you finally feel it too?

 

I feel something.

I feel something different.

I don’t know what it is,

But I have never felt it before

 

 

 

 

your  of laying down on your favorite quilt blanket,

n your lap.

 

Author's Note

This is what i call 'Impulse writing'. I havent read through it. I havent changed the lines. I just thought of the idea and wrote it down. I'm pretty sure in the near future I'll read it again, purse my lips and re-do it line by line. But for now, this is how I feel about it.
I would love to know what you think. =]

Psst. I still haven't done justice to 'The Feeling' yet =]

wow, reading this was cute and it made me feel relaxed. U also had a great use of imagery! Great write!

[Aldora Sparrow]

Wow. Impulse-writing can do miracles (I write like that a lot so I know the feeling). This is great. Obviously, there is room for improvement, but distancing yourself after a while then looking it with fresh eyes is always good way to go. You see things you missed before in the rush of feeling for the story, your creation. I agree with Hannah. You've already gave justice to "The Feeling" if not more. Good work!

[hannah]

An utterly marvelous poem. You have painted beautiful scenes for me using such simple words. My mind reached out to your words and I actually felt as if I was in every place you described. I know what you feel. It's that strange light feeling inside of you sometimes that makes you giddy and at the same time so full of peace. It's the feeling of being safe and comfortable and yet there's this looming curiosity of what lies beyond today. It's quite complicated to put into words, but the feeling does exist. Although, I disagree with one thing you've said...

You have already given justice to the feeling and more. :)

This one is quite raw and nicely done... really enjoyed reading it and got the feel of what you felt ;) great job:)

[Britt Foster]

I love it!
I love how you described "the feeling" as feeling like a smile, a breath, the smell of rain, warmth, etc. I've never thought of that before...feeling like a smile. Feeling like a breath.
Very unique, creative, and mysterious.
Reading it almost makes me feel "the feeling".
Keep up the excellent work!

I feel it!!!

This was so nicely written! The words you have chosen are so spo on and the imagery is great! Well done!

[Anicca]

This is a fabulous write and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I felt as though you took me on a journey through all the possibly insignificant yet perfect moments of a life time, the ones where nothing overly spectacular is occuring yet you know that things couldnt get much better. I love the way you involved the audience by stopping to ask if they knew what you had experienced between each stanza as it gave me the oppurtunity to think about my own life experiences. Thank you for posting such an inspirational and beautiful piece.

Very clever piece with both the way the piece is written, as if we're "inside of someone's head," and with the topic. It's thought provoking- and fun and pleasant.

[cookie monster love <33]

i love it o.o its like paint a picture in my head :D good job keep writing

[An owl on the moon]

This is absolutely wonderful! Your words encourage the reader to sit and sigh and smile, and you bring that feeling of joy to the surface so well. Excellent write!
