Tears daisiesnfld: Tears . One day a tear set out in search For but a temporary home But finding all the creeks filled Kept its course and moved along . The seas spread out before it Vast and wide no land in sight The oceans deep and bottomless And black as pitch at night . The rivers ran too swiftly A tear could never keep the pace It would have to find a substitute Just a temporary place . The tear watched where raindrops fell So many places they had to go Some caught up in umbrellas Others pooled in puddles below . Raindrops danced on window panes And ricocheted off passing cars While others caught in mighty winds And were carried miles afar . And then it caught the human eye During a thunderstorm in the rain Without an umbrella in the sky A rain dropped face in pain . Cheekbones upon the faces Past the lashes of the eyes Of those where rain drops fell In those who could not cry . Quickly the tear saw its chance To lessen a face its grief And offer if only temporarily The passing moment of relief . Once in the eye of the lonely heart The heart a new course would set upon The tear called for other tears to join And cleanse the temporary home . © DaisiesNfld  eyeofthetiger2u7: Daisie after reading your Poem I was so happy for the Tears !

Sorry but I do not agree with angpd concerning the rhyming in your Tears Poem ! It is fine as written ! Poems do not always need to rhyme ? Tears is a beautiful Poem ! Applause (Post deleted by angpd ) (Post deleted by angpd ) eyeofthetiger2u7: Oh I am a stickler for perfect rhyming too however this is just another style of writing ( Abstract ). Daisie just chose to write this poem in that style ! Usually she writes her poems the way I do with every other line in rhyme lol  WineNSarcasm: I like this, daisie ! There seemed to have been some controversy as to the poetic style. It's fine as written. I had no trouble with this at all. Any "art" is still, has always been, and will always be...in the eyes/ears of the beholder * | poems Chat Room Similar Conversations |
