I wrote a poem and it isn't inspired by any of the readings or in-class exercises, I don't know where it came from or why and I just felt like sharing it. Let me know what you think?
"Is it Hard to Dig?"
Do you still remember my name?
Do you hear my dead heart beating?
Do you drink to forget the taste of my lips?
Do you burn our pictures because my face is burned into your eyelids?
Do you try to forget me?
Do you succeed?
Do you feel better now?
Do you have what you wanted so badly?
Do you remember how cold I was?
I'll be cold forever,
now.
I'm not gonna tell you what it's about or what I pictured when I wrote it because I want to see if what I was getting at came across clearly or if you have no idea.
Oh man, that's somewhat chilling. I really like the use of questions all the way through to get a narrative across, its accusatory and haunting. My interpretation is someone dead addressing their murderer? I may be way off, but that's what I got. Really like the idea you've got going on here!
ReplyDeleteSarah, yes! That's what I thought too. Raeanne, please let us know if we're correct.I really enjoyed this poem. It's haunting and chilling and all things murder mystery. Nice work!
