The Question

The Question

By: Ethan West

If I bring a word to tattered page

Will there be man to read my word?

To hear my sorrows and my rage

And love if I allow a third

I sit before this broken glass

A mirrored, broken, tattered dream

My love for life has made me last

Tis what I hoped, and what it seemed

But I must wonder in my heart

Was this poem meant to start?

Author's Note

This one is more reflective than some of my other works. Hope you enjoy!
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

This is the most realistic poem I've read in a while.

"If I bring a word to tattered page
Will there be man to read my word?
To hear my sorrows and my rage
And love if I allow a third..."

Those are my most favorite lines of this poem (insert heart here)

Okay.... Let me put it this way. My favorite part was the whole thing. I loved this. It flowed brilliantly, and in answer to the final line: yes.

It sure as hell was meant to start, to be continued and completed, to be read and appreciated. We have a voice to let it be heard, and a hand that can hold a pen - or type - is meant to write. Never hold back as much as one word, it would be a waste.
The point is to ban the emotions on paper, to turn it into something... more. Lasting.

Well said my friend well said.

"If I bring a word to tattered page
Will there be man to read my word?" maybe, or maybe not. But a woman has and she greatly enjoyed your words. :)

[gombeggar]

very well done...but since it involves a broken mirror i would thus invoke the number 7 and make a further six poem sequels to it

[ewest1220]
