Can't Speak (title needs help)

Contributed by stalkee on Sunday, 21st December 2003 @ 03:44:07 PM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry



Here I am,
in this place again
And the same thing,
is happening
All I can speak,
are words that are weak
I used to know,
how to stay cool,
but right now all I know,
is how to act like a fool

Funny how I can't speak to you,
when I have the chance to
Funny how I have the chance to,
but I still can't speak to you

I wish I had a view,
about where I stand with you,
even though I have a clue,
I don't know what do

And I wish you knew,
what I'm going through,
with the things I feel for you,
I don't know what to do

Ugh, the feeling of total confusion..... awful....

your work just sings in this poem. I think the rhyme pattern works well here (I mean, if you're confused, what do you do? you start to repeat things a bit. so it would make sense to repeat the rhyme pattern...)

A job well done
God bless,
Ellen

Speaking of irony . . .

Ai yi yi, I almost always want to leave something constructive on poems but don't feel like I should. Now I have free reign to do so, and I can't think of anything worth criticizing!

Really, though, it's quite good. Possibly my favorite of yours.

Okay, something to say . . . um, the last stanza is a bit off rhyme-scheme-wise, like the last two lines. And you might wanna get rid of some of the commas in the first stanza. Sorry, that's all I can think of!

All I can think of to critique is the rhyme scheme in the first stanza. Coz the first 2 lines don't rhyme with anything, and then you have 2 rhyming couplets, and then the last 4 lines go A-B-A-B. It's inconsistent. Other than that, it's great. The repetition works because it's throughout the poem. If it was only one stanza it would bother me, but it's not. Even though I was looking for something to critique as I was reading it, lol, I still enjoyed it artistically, so great job!

For the one negative comment I would have to say, change the second verse. The third and fourth line say the exact same thing as the first and second, just the words are moved. Perhaps your title could be A Place Not So Strange. I still think your poem was great though. Keep working on it and maybe you'll feel the same.
