 persephone in waiting 2009-01-29 . chapter 1I find this poem cute and poignant and striking all the same. I almost feel a bit of frostbite when thinking about it, because I, too, am the type of girl to "let them get away." This poem touched me. The imagery was subtle but very prominent. The last line has left quite an impression on me.
If I may say it, there should be a period after "... wasn't in the air yet," as opposed to a comma. Also, the sentence "on the tip of my tongue was a sentence that wanted to burst out like tears, but i just couldn't" has an improper agreement. "i just couldn't" doesn't agree with the "sentenced that wanted to burst..." It would sound better to say, "... burst out like tears, but just couldn't."
What a bittersweet poem. :] |
