Enter with Caution

Beware of the broken heart to your left,
It's been tattered and torn up for years,
Merging on the road, is confusion and fears,
Be careful where you're crossing, you may get hit by random emotions,
Stop and look both ways, there tends to be a lot of commotion,
Now of course there's a road block,
Nothing about me can be eased,
You'll have to find an alternate route,
Or cross over goals dropped to appease,
But let me not neglect to tell you,
About the flooding around the eyes,
Be sure not to wreck though, as you cross over my bumpy thighs,
Do not get distracted, because its deeper when lost in,
And please do not get upset at the delay,
I warned you to only enter with caution

    this is a very emotional piece. broken hearts are hard to get over. sometimes it takes months and yes.. even years. it's something i'm going through at this moment. the road, like you said, is full of confusion and fears.. but it shouldn't be that way.
    i love the ending. it's like you're telling people that what happened througout the rest of the poem.. the heartbreak, the confusion and fears.. the road blocks put up.. it's all there and they're just gonna have to deal with it.
    very powerful stuff here.


    p.s.
    i especially loved the rythm and rhyme of this piece.. your voice certainly shines in this poem.

    i love the metaphores! it's forced a bit here and there
    "Nothing about me can be eased,
    You'll have to find an alternate route to cross over goals dropped to appease,"
    that last line is WAY to long, otherwise its the only major flaw
    cheers

    merry meet-
    i'm not sure what to think of this... it was written with such emotion that i don't know what to think...

    Be sure not to wreck though, as you cross over my bumpy thighs

    is this something to do with a weight issue?


    About the flooding around the eyes

    are you one of those chronic criers?


    this piece makes me feel like you (or the subject) were very insecure, i like it because it doesnt sugar coat your emotions

    blessed be-

    Hey I think you did pretty great with this actually. That one line in there is a little long compared to the rest, but it's okay. I really loved all the metaphors and cleverly put wording.

    I find this to be a great poem! I really love the originality of the metaphors. It certainly gives one something to dine on.
    I love it.

    Magnificent!

    Greetings, Teen PoeticSoul!

    Wow! What a great use of imagery! And the way you used descriptions of one thing (road signange, etc.), to create a word-picture of something totally unrelated (love & the broken heart)! Not everyone could do that -- but you have pulled it off magnificently!
