[ the stars falling ]

the stars falling
from overhead
the earth coalescing
into it's source

my dreams collapsing at
the vision you present
such heights and such
sorrows

Author notes

going through my old notebooks looking for something that wasn't terrible..

Whatcha think?

    100th Hoodwink!

    Kevin,

    I like the powerful imagery found in your poem, the natural world meshing with the personal feelings. The contrast in the second verse is thought provoking, well done!

    You have been chosen as a victim of our 100th Hoodwinking Celebration for The Poetic Bandits, we want to let you know we appreciate AllPoetry and all you have done to make it the wonderful Poetic Community that it is. Thank you!

    Dennis

    Sometimes ...

    it is hard to remain hopeful in the eye of sorrow.

    Textured poem.

    I dont think it is terrible at all. It is sad, and almost meloncoly, two traits I like a lot.

    nice progression ... the first stanza and the second stanza lines corresponding first, second, third, fourth, are metaphorically linked in skillful way ... this is a very sad, and very romantic pen, for in the final stanza you add heighth as well as depth and you add sorrow at its end ... the stars falling have not yet touched down, have they. our memories bring our thoughts into connection with our hearts and we can then see that we are connected to the firmament and the things of power and beauty around us, sometimes the connection is most exquisitely painful, yet how we grow from this!

    your little poem got all that out of me ... i like your poetry a lot.

    your author note is hilarious in a fundamentally sane way

    An all encompassing vision of natural occuring observations in life.Kinda sorrowful feeling is read in your second verse. I'm reading disappointment in assessing others actions.Thought provolking piece.Lots of power in short versed order.
