We come in pieces

We come in pieces

A Poem by The Elder Pine

 

 
We come in pieces
Fragments of broken glass
Shards of reveries
Long lost odds
And unfortunate ends
We come in pieces
 
Tucked away in ancient linen
Folded within an envelopes caress
We come in pieces
Each component trickling
Down between the webbing of our souls
Materializing and synthesizing
As integration travels its course
We come in pieces
 
All shapes sizes and colors
We come in pieces
Nuggets of incite
Bits of brilliance
We come in pieces
Forming a grand whole
A breathtaking collage
 
We come in pieces
Assembling a larger image
So you might one day see
We were always joined

I think this is a very strong poem. It seems to catch the reader right at the beginning and leaves no room for questions. You explain what you mean and do a great job of finalizing it at the end. Great work.

"All shapes sizes and colors" --- Author's preference, but you might want to put a comma in here to help the audiance read it a bit better.

"Assembling a larger image
So you might one day see
We were always joined" ---- I believe these three lines are the best. It helps to put all the unspoken words in the poem and the main idea together and finalize the point you were making. Besides that, I love how you sort of used the idea of a puzzle; no matter what the pieces are, the are always joined together by the picture if not physically joined.

Great work.
Thank you for sharing.

Pieces making our way back to the whole...

I especially like the line "tucked away in ancient linen."

Tucked away, folded in the fabric that is us.

The title caught my eye. Love the play on words. This is an excellent piece(s). Love the imagery. Shattered remnants superglued together. Great work.

Wow, I just love this piece! Great job with the visuals and the break down of detail, then revealing the whole picture....
