Sand
November 29, 2008
I'm knee deep in water,
My eyes and face turned to the sky.
Larks, sparrows, finches, doves.
I wish I could fly like them.
I did once, I could fly.
But I gave up my wings,
and I gave up my heart.
Both now fly alone.
I can feel the water retreat.
It's suddle song, and
It's soft angels.
I watch my last compaions flee.
I stand alone,
Knee deep in sand.
Angels, clowns, lions, swords.
They've all gone away...
I did once...
And now I'm sinking in sand,
sufficating on my mistakes.

This was nice, but the spelling mistakes really take away from the flow of the poem. Check "subtle", "companions", and "suffocating".

I enjoyed reading that, and thought that your poem was one big metaphor overall.
"I did once, I could fly. But I gave up my wings, and I gave up my heart." That little section was nice :)

I think that this poem was very deep and mystery like. I wish I knew what was going on in the authers head as he/she wrote the poem.

I liked it. I don't know what's wrong with it, but I do like it. I'm a picky reader also, so I hope this encourages you.

I think the poem was alright to a point. Angels, clowns, lions, swords, what in the world does that mean? Apart from that though, it's a great piece.

Now, we all like to read imagery, but this is absurd. "I stand alone, knee deep in sand" is a exaggeration, and I believe imagery that is exaggerated is as horrible as a cliche.
