Can you “see” the picture I'm trying to portray here through the usage of few words? I've always known that little words, when used correctly and fittingly, is powerful, but I know know how powerful. Hence my trying my hand at it. How well it came out, I don't know.
Please comment on what you think about this free verse, and how I can improve on my writing! ^^ (I promise I won't bite!)
How This Came To Be
End of day
Morales low
Tired
Stressed
Tensions high
Stomachache
Pain
Inquiries
Scolded
Rebuked
Guilty
Misty eyes
Blurred vision
Breaks down
Quiet weeping
Pauses
Runs upstairs
Collapses on bed
Sobbing
Wailing
Brokenness
Not comforted
None understands
Forgotten bedtime hug
Sorrowful
Depressed
Self-pity
Trickling wetness
Damp pillow
Once more
Awake
Thinking
Midnight
Slow motions
Bed creaking
Flipped switch
Blinding light
Still
Blinking
Adjusting
Rummaging
Paper
Pen
Starts
Writing
THIS
Wow this is sooo good. I wish I was good at poetry... I'm only good at stories and non-fiction, like reports and stuff
ReplyDeleteThanks! ^^ I love writing stories and the stuff I need to write for English. xD
DeleteDon't worry, I love it! But how did you know my favorite hobby was editing?
ReplyDeleteI just feel like it would be better if you added a few add-on words. You don't have to follow this new version, but this is how I would edit it:
End of day
Morales low
I’m tired,
Stressed,
Tensions high.
Stomachache,
Pain,
Inquiries scolded,
Rebuked,
Guilty,
Misty eyes.
I just feel like it makes it easier to read! ;)
True...but then it wouldn't be single words, though!
DeleteOr are you talking about the punctuation?
