A page turns, a book read.
Watch and you will see,
Such crimson letters in bold,
Before your imagination leaves.
You have fallen into nothingness-
Breathing the last breath of death.
Contemplating the desire:
To fade away.
Why is no one following?
Such a path of danger;
To be created,
Would seem like such a good idea.
To some...
Where is the life that has promised
Hope, faith, and cherished wonders?
Why is no one here,
Why are you so alone?
The book falls, out of shaking hands,
Back in time the world has changed.
You have been gone for so long,
And yet, no one is here.
Author notes
"It's hard to believe, That there's nobody out there, It's hard to believe" -Under the bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers
This poem was an idea produced by this quote. It was as enjoyable to write as I hope it is to read. To explain- I got the idea from the Lord of the Rings movie. Arwen drops a book with shaking hands, that is when she and her father realize what the effect of the mortal life will have on her. I went further to imagine that such a life was beyond the pages of the book, where time did not stop as you passed through it.
I hope that was confusing enough for you. I have a hard time attempting to make people understand my reasonings.
Thank you for reading.

Hey!
First, I love you.
Second, guess where I am? IN ALASKA!!! Dad and I got an internet cafe spot where I can write this to you. The trip is fantastic, I think you are in Hawaii now, but it would be cool if you got this anyway.
Third, I love you.

I hope you get his before you go on your trip to... Alaska!
It's interesting that this was modeled after that scene in Lord of the Rings because it definately had a "Into the West" feel to it.
You used opposites in a very powerful way in this piece. The questions made it a bit more personal. You created a definate mood to the piece which is hard to come by and I'm not just saying that because I like you.
I know I always say this but I will be forever amazed at how you can write about things entirely seperated from yourself. I can only write things directly related to how I'm feeling, thinking, ect. I think you have a gift of being able to put yourself in somebody else's shoes and write something emensively creative.
I love reading your poetry.
Love,

This is cute...Kinda like an spirit finding out what being human will be like.
You poem captures the imagination.
Beautiful -
I never read the author's comment until after I read the poem. This way I can form my own interpretation. Your explaination was easy to follow. And I enjoyed being able to look at the poem a second time from a different perspective, yours. Very well written. Good luck.

Hey well worded but I must admit my confusion as to the meat on the word-bones. The authors comments were helpful in that you obviously had an intended meaning, it just escapes me. Don't you just love the freedom of poetry! Thanks for sharing.

We don't need to understand your reasoning as long as we get something out of the work. I think, following your reasoning, that you did a splendid job. You tied in all those things coherently and it was very easy to see it all. Best of luck in the contest!
