In A Place Where The Ocean Is Deep and Wide



In a place where the ocean is deep and wide,
Lonely soul greets the hungry tide,
Unspeakable things
scream in silence;
Broken wings
search for solace;
Deserted strings
haunt those died in violence!
This fairy
is NOT very merry,
This story
is Not that cheery,
This moment
is so very scary!
Brain-storms flood,
Thoughts stretch,
Let’s pray to God
and redo our sketch.

The poem is good.

The starting takes off with infecting a sense of pathos in a reader's mind. Gives a kind of warning that the things are not going to be a fairytale as you continue reading.

The middle portion attracts attention with its simple short and recurring style.

The end portion really ends well, by the way. In a sense of hope. Thats good, indeed.

Best regards Ji,
Mihir

Hope you are having a lovely weekend, Jingle. This was sad. Seems the bad fairies run amok too often in this world.

I like the factthat in the poem you talk of it being serious yet it flows as though it is more playful. Brilliant poem.

Terrific take.

Victoria said...

There is something poignant in this that reminds me of the losses we think about today.

The Poet said...

Hello Ji.

Great contrast between all things doom & gloom at the beginning and then the whisper of hope at the end.

Nicely done!

Nice message to make, arrive at change!

This is clever ... draws you into the poem.

Charles L. Mashburn said...

Nicely done! It kind of builds and crashes on you like a wave, tittering and sighing as it fades in the end.

Madeleine Begun Kane said...

To me, not being a poet, just an interesting story with a very lovely picture to illustrate it. I'm glad you included prayer and God. Thanks, I'm sure He will appreciate that.
God bless and may you keep on writing for us for a very long time, Geoff.

Marbles in My Pocket said...

I love this. You have painted a word picture of the picture. Nice!

JBinford-Bell said...

I often wonder when poem and illustration so fit which came first. It would be hard to separate the two.

Chèvrefeuille said...

Wow! This is such a wonderful poem.
