Poem Commentary

this is actually a short song i was making up but decided it is a pretty good short poem. :)

The Downside of Watching Life Pass By

I've seen,
I've seen people
who have loved
and lost...

I've seen,
I've seen people hurting
but they keep it all down...

I've seen,
I've seen families
torn apart,
put together,
and then...

I've seen,
I've seen
wars start
and end again...

I've seen,
yes I've seen Life....
Oh what a life...

That last stanza really sums it up. It's very important to go out and do all you can with your life before it's too late. Good Stuff. And I see what you were talking about with the poem structure. (;

I just meant with your poems in general like "Eternal Silence" and "Sun-Dried". I probably should have made that into two separate comments. lol I should refrain from commenting when half asleep. _

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
