I swear it's getting worse. Rolling Eyes


He is but a sweet, vulnerable mortal boy, and she
is a lyrical specimen who resides in the violent
skies; both as frail and fragile as cracking stars.
Only one fateful meeting and already she cannot purge

him from her mind. She clings to the tropical contours
of his voice still embedded in her thoughts, and plays
them back like a charred cassette; wishing to touch
every molten word. Little does she know that hidden

away within the dark, lonely London streets, is a young
musician by the name of Sirius - reaching out for the
pretty girl he met on New Years' Eve. He too can hear
the fizzy, addictive qualities of a far away voice,

buried deep inside his heart and piercing through the
synapses. His nights are tempestuous without such a
fragile creature, and her days are poisoned by wishful
memories; connected through even the darkest of realms.

WORSE?!!?

It's comments like that that makes me feel in the mood to slap myself...

Anyway...I adore this. I cannot pick out one piece to say is my favourite. It flows too well. The imagery, the flow, the structure...perfection.

Thank you poetry babes. Very Happy *huggles you and gives cookie*

I've taken to writing an installment of the series every week - fortnight to give me ideas for what to write. I wasn't so sure about this one. Thank you oodles.

Anyway... Ellen your poems are not gettig worse...seriously.
I adore it! Lovely imagery and awesome structure.
Some of the lines get a bit confusing/over complex by their length (even if you use commas) though.
But don’t change that, because it sort of works. Just keep it in mind for future poems. Very Happy

As for criticism; you don’t need a comma when you have an “and”

You can write like this:
“…mortal boy and she is a lyrical…”
“…thoughts and plays them…”
“…fragile creature and her days…”

Tha would be all Retard

Reading it through again, some of the lines are little complex. I was intending to break up the last two lines, but I didn't. (can't remember why...)

But I might have a look at the length of some of the sentences, for reference and to tidy it a little. Wink I won't change too much though.

Yeah, it’s just so easy to lose yourself in the complexity of the poem when writing because it’s all so clear to you Very Happy

If you find a way to do that it’d be great Up
