Description You died and you woke
To bird song
And dawn
To sleep and die
And wake
Again

Because you will find her.

I really like this- so much said in so few words. And I may come back to say more- because I've been procrastinating going home for ages- and should really hop.

To be added to my favourites, methinks.

Arr- okie, what I would've said, were I in the longcomment mood at the time--

:j

I love, firstly, that it portrays love ('tis what I'm getting from it), as being above life and death- as being the ultimate thing in life- and that's an elusive enough bugger to establish-- and relating death and rebirth to sleep, for me, is terrifically yummy-- for me, there's something durreal about dreaming- it's very much like leaving this world- and it can often make this world seem less real itself, if a dream is strong enough like that- and how like dying and being reborn that is-- great stuff in so many ways. :j

Also, it reminded me of a film that was shown my the arts office here in the university recently- I don't remember the name ('twas pretty foreign. )- but it dealt with death and being reborn in a similar manner-- and the first thing I noticed about this poem was that it was similar in that way, and the second I noticed is that it sums it up in that many words btter than the whole bloody movie did.

Then I faved it. And I'd do it again!

Wonderful, wonderful poem. And I've got two folk that I've shown it to that say the same, but not being sure that they'll be around to comment, I figured I'd pass that on. G'yar!

You are too sweet
I'm glad you like it, i thought it might be deemed to corny.
I adore my dreams. they let me do and say what ever i miss the chance to do or say before. whether that hurts or comforts me, it needs to be done.
About love being above life and death...well thats kind of what i was getting at. mostly i was expressing the fact that without feeling sorts of passion - whether they are of good or bad - life becomes bland and cold...just my way of seeing things. you may disagree.
Thankyou for your fav - very flattering. Also, thankyou for bothering to return and extend your comment.
*waves at the other two guys*

Short and simple -- always a favourite way to write poetry for me Of course, when I say "simple", it's just pretending to be, isn't it? The simplest poems are often the ones with the most behind them, if you care to look for it.

once upon a midnight dreary a geeky chef felt all weary
over many a sweet but forgotten girl from yore
while I chilled nearly frozen trying hard to write my prose'n
make it clear to whom I've spoken
"I dont mind talking about it at all"
"It just sucks, nothing more"

I tried writing more but I felt plagerism can only go so far at midnight
thankyou sara
