Observer

An optimist in the making,
i am yours for the taking,
dare to taste the sweet and bitter,
do your best to out-wit her,
ironic,
you can't kid a kidder,
sport a grin and bear it,
choose to count the candles lit,
brain matter,
clouds scatter,
breathe,
push the patience of a father,
sweet and swindled,
unscathed daughter,
dream not of your darkest hour,
bless the lips of this blooming flower,
not or whether,
burn black till we sustain together.

    Awesome! The progression of the poem took a winding path that proved to be enticing to read and interesting. The type of description used such as;
    'brain matter'
    'bless the lips of this blooming flower'
    'to count the cnadles lit'

    Of course there are many more but this comment would be very long if I named all of them. The subject matter was interesting and the way in which you wound the poem around it was done with skill. The flow was very smooth.

    I read the first word, and had to read all of the following ones to see where the journey ended. Seriously, that was my first impression. Well written.
