There Is No Place Like Home

crisp and clean the air I breathe
open sky where thoughts may roam
passing breeze wafts through my ear
imagine freedom, remembering hope
I lie beside the babbling brooke
curling up in the luscious green
my eyes are fixed on the deer that panteth for the water
then it hits me, I am lost in a dream
but it's quiet here and for once I am alone
to think the thoughts that distortedly twist
my mind alone at last can fly
my heart to rest in eternal bliss
scarcely clouds the sapphire deep
lulling slowly to a serene rhythm
all is peace, I fall asleep
charoal well.. still I'm sinking
into darkness, further I go
bludgered brain my head is throbbing
damp and musty the air I breathe
back to reality, there is no place like home

    Wow

    I'm a really difficult person when it comes to the appreciation of a poem, because it takes much to keep me interested until the end. But *your* poem... swept me off my big feet. I love all the inversions you used, and the alliterations gave a nice ring to it. Great use of words too! It gives your poem a "dreamy" or "eerie" feel.

    hammered the nail.. you've hit it my friend. In fact, I had Alice in Wonderland in mind, curious that you'd figure that out? You have most definately got hte mind of a mature poet.. no question in my mind. Do you see now that we have the reoccuring theme of a harsh reality? I've quoted you at the beginning of my author page if you'd like to take a looksie at a place of honor as well.

    great!

    Heather this is really nice the description was phenominal and the ending was brilliant. This was a really really nice piece and a great comparison and concept. I really enjoyed this, very well done. No critiques.. cept you might want to capatalize the first letter of each line.. other than that this was amazing. A really good write, keep it up I'll keep reading..
    *hugs*
