There's dust in the distance
Caused by my careless footsteps
In the dirt.
The character of this poem may have stepped in the dirt, but it isn't their fault it was there in the first place. I hope they know that. I liked the simplicity of the poem, the beat wasn't exactly defined but that works with the subject of the poem quite well. Great job.

it was short and abrupt on purpose
it was written and reread in a very apathetic/depressed state, so yeah
thanks though
I felt like just hanging my head down when I wrote it, so that's where the rhythm comes from

Well. That surprised me.
Normally, I don't like these kinds of poems. But that was fairly good, actually.
The end sort of made me laugh, since it ended so abruptly with "In the dirt."
But it was good!

Ah.. I don't know how to describe it.
Just like.. short, and straight-to-the-point poems. They normally have no imagery, and imagery is one of the things that makes a poem stand out. But this one had excellent imagery.

cool, thanks
I like to staruate my poetry in pure imagery and metaphors/symbolism
so if you like that, that's pretty much all I write (not to be a whore or anything)
that's mainly what I like to read, stuff like Mark Strand and grunge music are my main influences
if you have anything of the nature I'd like to read, so (if the forum allows it) just message me (or message me in my inbox or something
