A poem...

Sometimes it lays bare, sometimes it sweeps dreams between the lines.

Often a torn thread,
this poem
peeping through the gaps,
a bejewelled lace round my neck
of voices that buried deep in its skin.

Often a torn thread
unwoven dreams,
treachery to heart's honesty,
sometimes a wish that gave up
halfway through.

Many time our poems come out from torn threads that we have witnessed in and participated in; in this life along its rocky and jagged way.

Poetry is deep embedded in our hearts, soul, mind, and body. It’s words are inked on paper the tells untold stories that others many not know we have encountered.

This is beautifully penned and the whole idea is relatable and the wording is perfect to get this idea across.

However they may come, their arrival always lets loose the beauty within us no matter what kind of mess it comes out with and that's what I love about it! This review means a lot, dear PB! I'm grateful for these words ❤️

[Poetic Beauty]

You are welcome. I’m getting ready to write myself. I always take a few moment to catch up and read a few poems before I do. It’s a routine for me to get my mind focused.

[Poetic_Vixen]

That's something relatable there and looking forward to your writings always!

This one speaks of whiskey on the tongue. I may have to finish it tomorrow. I’m only two stanzas in.

Another classic write in this very meaningful and insightful poem, dear P.V. So often it is the torn thread which unravels the events in our lives and you have very poetically and artistically captured this in the poem. Love the many figures of speech in the poem and the rich imagery in the words. You always say so much in so few words, dear poetess. Lovely work! I love this succinct poetic gem and with a grateful heart, I thank you for sharing it...

Dear Marie, your poetic reviews seem to compliment my efforts too much, I'm very fond of them, it is so sweet of you to stop my numerous poems I posted I think while you were offline, I longed to hear to opinion over them then and now here you are! It makes me truly happy, I rather am grateful to you more for looking and bringing out aspects from my poems with each of its lines, and ever so grateful for you for stopping by!

[Marie]

NO gratitude needed, dear P.V. You are ALWAYS most welcome. Have a very lovely evening, relaxed and pleasant and I pray it is filled with inspiration so you can write some more amazing poems. Bless you always, dear friend...

[Poetic_Vixen]

That is the sweetest blessing I hope it comes true.

[Marie]

I shall pray each blessing becomes reality for you, dear friend...

I particularly enjoyed your closing verse here. Words are born from the tearing of our life’s fabric, the sleeping mind in a state of dreaming or even from wishes we had that have yet to come true. A poem sweeps up the pieces of all these things and lays them in neat lines and a poem is unearthed full of personal meaning and ready to be shared.

It’s a unique way to express how our words evolve into the poems that speak for us on the page. A most interesting idea, well conveyed.

Writing poetry seems like pouring resin over our emotions and over broken splinters of our hearts, capturing them in a beautiful look through of an art, I believe it's our way to make our misery beautiful, glad you liked that specific idea I concluded it with, appreciate you for going through and understanding it, grateful for these words, Doodley!

Often times the words we put on paper are born out of the unsettling situations that life puts us in. I absolutely loved the imagery of torn threads, unwoven dreams here conveys the disappointment and resilience midst of all this there is bejeweled lace around your neck. Lovely way of describing how can one still be happy despite the mess happening around. I see this is a beautiful self reflection poem. A truly poignant write, dear Muskaan.
Have a beautiful day :)

[Poetic_Vixen]

I'm happy you could feel the exact essence of this poem I wrote, Sameeksha, the way you have layed it out here gives it a rather resilient meaning of how it's more than what it has lost and that makes me happy, dea friend. I'm so grateful for these words, sending you a lot of love ❤️

[Sameeksha Vadisherla]

Your poetry is beautiful, Muskaan. Keep writing and sending you lots of love too ❤️

[Poetic_Vixen]

I will be most honoured to! Grateful for your support Sameeksha!

The analogy of a torn thread is really beautiful. It's when something significant in our life gets torn, that a poem usually emerges. I also like to envision the state of fragility of emotion that usually accompanies the writing of a poem. I'm sure you had that impression in your mind, while writing the poem, Muskaan.

I relate to and appreciate all the aspects of a poem that you describe here, so eloquently:

unwoven dreams,
treachery to heart's honesty,
sometimes a wish that gave up
halfway through.

Indeed, a poem is all these things and I loved how complete your analysis of penning a poem is. A poem is so much a dream, we never realize. And yet, we never give up that dream.

I could go on and on. Suffice to say here, I loved the poem.

When I came up with this little poem I had a bothering void in my heart that we all are ought to make peace with, it came out this way, sorta signifying my delicate hold with that longing that has weakened enough that I was to let go before it broken apart, result I was left in a shade of my dreams, which made for a perfect poetry, it sorta spiralled out to be something, like that dream we imagine of, materialising here in my writing like it had an actual presence and shape, even though it may be gone, its been eternalised here, in my palms, in the pages away from eyes questioning it...

I love that part about poetry, it keeps making sense over and over every time and in every different way it is thought over and to write becomes such a blessing to put the noise out inside.

I'm so grateful for this in-depth review, Divya, you understand and look into a poem with every bit of its line and look straight through it and the poet who wrote it as you did here, as I did, after all, had the state of fragility when I was writing this, you're so cool sometimes, very grateful for these beautiful words and fulfilling encouragement, I value them a lot ❤️

This is silk. Sometimes shuddering sometimes flowing and it is remarkable in all its parts.

[Poetic_Vixen]

This means a lot! I'm very grateful for this sweet and beautiful review ❤️
