    Next morning text

    I left you..
    With the sun..

    an image often found in stained glass
    With your hair curled against the very sheets
    Palms laying heavily over a shadowed past
    Dreaming of things I've turned away from seeing

    And when I left you..
    ..with the moon

    You danced with the clouds
    While consoled by its constellations
    your droplets became rain
    And the window caged my observation

    But when I left you..
    ..with the spring breeze

    The evening bugs illuminated you,
    and raised a shrine to your silhouette
    You nearly blew away with doubt
    Your skin calmed as it outlined you

    So when I left you..
    ..I came back

    To watch the sunrise over easy
    your toes curl over the cool grass
    eyes open for its first moments
    And I never left you after that..

    Re: Next morning text

    for someone who said they didn't know shit about poetry, this is a pretty solid fucking drop here. I like how you started each stanza. with that little intro line to sort of slide people into the right mood. nohomo.

    You danced with the clouds
    While consoled by its constellations
    your droplets became rain
    And the window caged my observation

    >>I love the window caged bit. solid. and with such simplistic words, you were able to create a great image.

    But when I left you..
    ..with the spring breeze

    The evening bugs illuminated you,
    and raised a shrine to your silhouette
    You nearly blew away with doubt
    Your skin calmed as it outlined you

    >>but this part. wow. I just picture lightning bugs and 2 young kinds playing with them. great imagery. its got a kidlike feeling to it. even though I know its a mature piece, it just felt full of youth.

    anyway I don't have anything negative to say..really..just except that some of your lines were borderline corny, but it's poetry and its hard to find new ways to be creative with wording. overall..good drop. I enjoyed it. thanks for feeding my piece, figured id reciprocate.

    the theory of cause and effect is flawed,
    we expect the outcome to mirror the struggle, that's wrong.

    Welp, for a first-timer you've managed to avoid the biggest pitfall of all: rhyming. Gonna sound weird on a rap site, but most amateur poetry stinks so bad because it rhymes. A lot of the times, just writing without rhyme gives what you're saying weight. So good job on that!

    A bit corny, but only the slightest bit considering that you had a lot of killer imagery in there. Also, holy shit, a first timer who writes STRUCTURED poetry?!! Like, with repeated segments to give an overall format????? Now I've seen everything. Fucking good job, it's always with the freeform around here. Admittedly, my stuff as well sometimes, but great to see someone writing something with a structure.

    Good play with this man. Definitely dope for a first drop. It seems that you did some homework before you wrote this, like you looked up styles of writing. I am also guilty of structureless writing but this right here is some deep wording. Taking elements of days and nature and being intricately in love and leaving these aspects of totems that there to comfort just takes this to another level. Overall it's rare that a first timer comes with such a polished piece but it's definitely refreshing. Dope

    I loved it.

    It's so romantic lol lol. Wordz…You’re so romantic!!! lol
    Spill those guts buddy. Poetry bud’ lol.
    We’re writers, we place boundaries.
    We say ‘I could or couldn’t write this or that.’
    I think, of course we could write anything.
    But we limit ourselves.
    I think you 'could always' write poetry and think poetic thoughts.
    I believe that we all have those poetic moments where wonderful
    wording comes our way. Fish that get away. Those pearls of moments of perfect thought
    fall on smooth minds, as if you weren’t even wording it yourself.
    Poetic moments.
    I believe we’re all poets first, and then we hone our craft, which ever avenue that may be.

    Favourite lines:

    an image often found in stained glass
    With your hair curled against the very sheets
    Palms laying heavily over a shadowed past
    Dreaming of things I've turned away from seeing

    You danced with the clouds
    While consoled by its constellations
    your droplets became rain
    And the window caged my observation

    The evening bugs illuminated you,
    and raised a shrine to your silhouette
    You nearly blew away with doubt

    So when I left you..
    ..I came back

    To watch the sunrise over easy
    your toes curl over the cool grass
    eyes open for its first moments
    And I never left you after that..


    That’s pretty much all of it lol.
    I think you did a wonderful job, that imagery is great.
    I hope you keep writing and dropping poetry.

    Beautiful words my friend.
