Some comments for you:
(10-17-2013, 06:30 AM)Nick Wrote: some poetsJust things to consider.
when they write
it's their words;--Maybe, "their words look" and cut they on the next line
they look like colored chalk drawings
on cement
on a sidewalk--since you're doing one word lines anyway why not just sidewalks
beautiful--I sort of hate this word. It's like unique. I think the next two get you there.
artistic
delicate
folks stop and gaze
admire and walk around
nothin' wrong with that
then the dark comes
their words cannot blaze guidance--maybe in two lines "their words now to dim to blaze guidance" Just a thought
are trampled without regard
and an errant shower
rebirths the grey
the hard grey
the hard grey that gleams dully--I think the repetition here is too much
in the damp unmetered dawn--awesome last line
Best,
Todd
