Limbo

A Poem by RTB

I change my chant to an enlightend tone,

You see the smile, you are welcomed home,

 

I greet you near this delightful view,

Situational embrace of solid truths,

 

Happy to see you the delight is mine,

I'm shocked in aw when you walk right by,

 

I turn around and the picture is clear,

I'm still gone and your still not here..

Actually, I love this, because I can pretty much relate to it. Powefully written and full of clarity. Excellent!!

Succinct and elegantly powerful. Just fix the "aw" and in the last line, the "your" (should be "you're"). Some excellent lines here; "Situational embrace of solid truths" is a foundation for a graceful edifice of expression with a expansive skylight engaging a rainbow.

Enlightend = enlightened; aw = awe, your = you're. Other than that, I thought this was fantastic! My favourite poem by you so far - the last line really brings it all together. Being in limbo can really f**k you with, hey?

This was very well written! It has a few typos, but Sara Mercury pointed them all out! The rhyme scheme flowed very well and the ending was absolutely great.

Good job!

Very short but full of emotion. I like it. =)

I would have put a semi-colon between the phrase as such, "happy to see you; the delight is mine." Also, "aw" should be, "awe." Additionally, "your" should be, "you're" (as it is supposed to be a contraction for the words, "you are"). And finally, the word, "enlightend" should be, "enlightened." Other than that, it was very well written. I loved the ending, most especially!

I remember the picture used for your poem in a Hanz Hozler book. That's Mary Lincoln if I'm not mistaken grandaughter or something like that of Abe Lincoln and that's the ghost of Honest Abe behind her. :) Anyway, on to your poem. . .

I like this a lot it's short but absolutely lovely and startling all at the same time. A really great poem. You are a talented writer.
