just got the itch... gentlemen start the clock...

 

 

Weary are the the hands that hold

the loftly one's so high and bold...

 

To lift you up so far and high

Think not upon the one's that died...

 

Keep standing tall, since all you see

Are lovely happy tragidies...

 

And the shatter hearts you sank into the ground

Will never reach you, or make you frown...

 

 

-time-...

 

revery

the dreamlost...

"i love everyone, except the people i hate..."

the dream continues...

Weary are the the hands that hold

the loftly (lofty?) one's (plural or possessive? i don't think you need the apostrophe here.) so high and bold...

 

To lift you up so far and high

Think not upon the one's (apostrophe again, this is plural?) that die...

 

Keep standing tall, since all you see

Are lovely happy tragidies... (tragedies) (I love the conflict here - lovely happy tragedies. nicely done)

 

And shattered hearts, sank (sunk?) in the ground

Will never reach, or make you frown...

*nods* narrowed to a singular, it's much more personal and easier to make associations. i've always liked this one, and appreciate seeing the changes as you go through it.

oh thanks,

 

I actually didn't mean to repost it in the Banquet Room though, I was just raiding my poems links list in my piazza portrait for inspiration when I ran across this one again. I thought it would repost in the workshop.

 

Hmm, I must have wrote this one before I started using the workshop.

 

Anyway, I've always liked it too. I miss the sing-songly quality that most my earlier poems seem to have. Things were simpler then...
