Sam's Song
#7
Hi, ecesis! Welcome here.
Strange poem, maybe the title started me off wrong. I thought about music being played at Sam's Club, a warehouse merchant here in the USA, and then it kind of stuck. Then I thought about an Arab named Sam, who I likely never met, but whose name floated around town when I was very young. Then I thought Sam short for Samantha. I have difficulty with titles sometimes, but I understand the importance in it making a quirk or being subject, and so it seems mystery to me though it might be vital to the personal thoughts of the writer.




Poor sam's mind,                                                                    -is the comma necessary for break or pause, does it bring more drama?

has begun to leap away;
what urges his kop,
to the fields of no vision lay.

A fatigued mother,
leers at the wild eye,                                      
wherein birls the fierce shine,
only seen in the evening sky.                                                  -no "the"

What lures behind with dire grasp,                                           -either a comma or "and" or eliminate both
and turns this seaman's only helm;
for far away is port or home,
and long lost is a moral throne.                                                -I want a pronoun here, don't know why

Calibre once brought so dear a smile,                                       -Calibre an interesting, thought out, alternative, well caught.
to parley warmth o'er cold vein;                                               -I'm confusing parley with parlay
to mount a precipice and be of padre use,
in joys well hid in antique hue.                                                  -clues exclusive to certain readers or just some sort of misery?

Why the hope of plea,
keeps a iterate memorial—                                                       "an"
cold to eschew,
and only groping the depth,                                                     I don't know why I want to take away "the"
in the never new. 



I have also tried writing poems in the "Old English" or whatever it may be properly called. I read some old poetry and I wonder if I will ever get it, many hymns are written in such a way, and it is so lovely and poetic. Keep trying if it is something you enjoy. I apologize if my critique has not been helpful. Best wishes to you.
