"The existentialist" What do I attempt to show the world I am? Am I driven by false pride? Do I build a wall layered with worldly achievements only to stand atop hands lifted excitedly chanting: I win. Tell me what this wall is worth if I stand atop alone. Hands outstretched and shouts unheard. Below the people dance Share moments of love Befriending and hugging Smiling and sharing stories Beauty embraced. I never fathomed an unkind ending until I took a step down sat beside my wall and befri...

Vok beisha knockwin is what they’ll say, About this era that has passed away, As their archaeologists dig deep in the sands of time, You’ll have passed away from this world divine.

Becoming unemployed is not a simple fate to reckon with. When there is no longer a steady paycheck being delivered, this can become the culprit to a handsome amount of troubles, worries, and anxieties that may quickly perplex an otherwise level-headed individual. Annabelle Jamison, a Real Estate Professional, recently lost her job with an Agency located just outside Metro St. Louis. “Even if you lose your job on a term that seems valiant, it will still take away from the security that you had...

Your girl’s a gypsy, She’s turning heads at the corner store, Painted face with clothes of lace, Will this be forever more? You’re girl’s a gypsy, She’s spinning circles when she’s gonna dance, With a harp in her hands, How can anyone help but glance? Your girl’s a lover, She holds your body tight in her arms, The passion she ignites, Is full of loving charms, Hold on tight, baby, Don’t look away in lust, It’s all right, baby, I’ll keep my distance – you can trust, For this gypsy girl is smil...

She carries with her a long and well written book, her lips are obscure and stern is her look, She is not baffled for she knows who she is, a heart that is set in eternal bliss, The sweet aroma of the morning blooms, as the sun rises above and down sets the moon, There is not a stench, or a fowl, no memories of a hard clad night, As light enters from darkness, the truth is in sight, No horses are trampling and compacting the soil, The teapot she set on the stove starts to boil, The morning is...

The valley of illusion could be 1200 click's short of truth (depending on the individual!), but, I do find it to be correct that it is at least one click short of truth! Nice quotation!
I find that this poem pieces together well. In order to comprehend this poem I had to look deeply and remember that which was said before. You were planting a seed in my brain that had not yet been there. The topic you address is not something I typically walk around and think of. At the end of the poem I feel that there was still an answer that would need to be told, or defined by the viewer. Perhaps that is your point, to have the reader ponder such things. But, overall I would say that it ...
I am highly impressed with your use of language and the flow of this poem. Although, on a personal level I can not concretely confirm within myself certain attributes that you have opted to use. This poem evoked emotion and understanding within me. There was an elevation of words that roused my senses. Did you put a lot of energy into this?

I feel that you have taken your time to craft a poem that is clear and concise. It offers a good recognition of the angst of the teenage life. And also has a glimmer of hope in the passing of your mother's legacy. I don't find anything to be critiqued within it. Nice job.
This poem provokes a mind to think. By offering the reader only what elle is lacking (i.e. the ability to swim, love and breathe) it is also giving the reader the opportunity to understand how they would feel in the event that such a thing would happen with them. Each reader can and would react in a differing way to such an event. This allows a maximum amount of relatability to a maximum amount of readers. That is a good thing. I enjoyed this. Although, I do not have a definitive feeling to k...
