It's been a while. I'll be on and off sporadically, I guess. Until I come up with poems worthy of sharing.

Hurriedly hurriedly,
Rapidly, fasterly,
Quicker pulses run high.
Salt lingers where tears dry.
Weeds sprawl when left to grow;
Vines catch in crooks of toes.
Seasons always conspire,
Never outrun the fire.

Thanks for the feedback. I think you're right, and ill probably edit the meter a bit to make the flow better. As for it sounding like a song chorus, I came up with it while listening to music so perhaps that could be why Tongue

I agree. The word "fasterly" should not have been used while you were writing this composition. I understand that you were trying to have four words have the "ly" suffix. (Which is creative in a way, and a bit of a challenge). But you should never make up a word to do so. (It takes away credibility from the poem, and besides, it's a cheap shortcut). As for the rest of the poem, it's decent enough.
