Well, i know you lay in bed/Contemplating your own death/ Well just look at what youve done/ Dont you dare forget the sun, love. Dont You Dare Forget The Sun, by Get Scared

My 1st attempt :) ...(honest opinions please!) Apr 25 2011, 03:10 PM
I await in the shadowz, hiding from the light, figuring out who would come to find me... I willingly explore beyond my imaginations, expressing how delicate life truely is with the one you want to tell but, a force hold's you back, regretting afterwards when its too late making that person just a memory lost in the darkness of your mind forever.

I think you'd be better doing a longer poem if you have the time. You have a great imagination.

I actually really like this for many reasons 1. I like the way free verse poetry sounds (I also write in this style) 2. There is a level of genuine honesty to your writing 3. U use correct word choice throughout which is a huge deal. Too many people compromise their work for words that just dont fit Ok now things to try: 1. I agree with Matt try to write in greater length, you may end up removing alot of the useless stuff and leaving yourself with a great piece of writing 2. Make sure you just write and then edit later if you are worried about the way things sound together as you are writing it will show in your poem. Great job I really enjoyed this!

I like the fact that it is short and compact. It doesn't say much, yet, I'm asking a lot; why didn't she tell? when will she come out of the darkness?. The shadow imagery characterizes the character the "I" quite well as one who is alone and in the dark. But the paradox is you say you are hiding from the light;yet you explore.Are you expressing a failed attempt to search for the light? So the darkness" lost in the darkness of your mind forever."could be interpreted as your memory of the lost person;"the shadow" mentioned earlier. Oh and I like the use of the present continuous tense; it speaks to an ongoing search paralleled with the continuous regret and it makes the poem flow well. I'm not accustomed seeing poems written in such a way; so it's refreshing! ( at times it makes it hard to understand the phrasing though.) Also the switch from I to "your" is interesting as well. It is as though you alienate your self from the person being written about. that's just a short analysis and interpretation of your poem: it's highly possible that that is not what you were hinting at, but, it show that the poem still leaves room for open interpretation and an in depth analysis work on your grammar and spelling to execute an even better poem as well. In short: I like it :) I await in the shadows, hiding from the light, figuring out who would come to find me... I willingly explore beyond my imagination(s) expressing how delicate life truely is with the one you want to tell, but, a force holds you back; regretting afterwards when its too late making that person just a memory lost in the darkness of your mind forever.
