im not a poet, and i honestly dont even know if this is considered poetry. im not sure if it makes sense to anyone but me, but theres not much of a point of writing it if im not getting any feedback, so here it is. comments greatly appreciated, thanks!
silence.
silence to fight against the words pushing at her lips
trying to get out
trying to fix what she’s stuck in
this dirty rut of past memories and a love gone rotten.
colder than ice, the those sharp words freeze her
freeze her mouth shut
and those echoing words are locked inside her head to spoil
until she cries
but her tears turn to ice
so whats the point?
i would recommend maybe switching some of the words to this poem. when i started reading it, i didnt quite get if there were two people or one person.. i dont know that's just me.. until i hit the words "this dirty rut of past memories.."
i knew it mustve have been one girl crying about "love gotten wrong.."
maybe if you tried starting out with This dirty rut.. and kept going but towards the end put SILENCE or something?

kristamikele answered Tuesday June 2 2009, 6:29 pm: You are a poet. I really liked it for a couple of reasons.
1. I could read this and get a totally different message than the next person. Nothing in it is nailed down and concrete (if that makes any sense)
2. I think the ice/frozen thing is really expressive. The "freeze her mouth shut" part is genious.
