dying Mark Unseen   Jan 31 05:43 UTC 1999

as painful as it is,
i'm remembering again..
soaring on the wind's warm breath,
spinning into colorful feilds,
becoming one with their waves of emotion--
never a cloudy day.
my moon-beam wings,
my childish smile...
now i see it as a dream.
my prism feilds have gone pale and gray,
my wings now translucent to the eye.
i've been beyond the star's sharp glare,
and danced upon every sea...
now alone and afraid--
crying for the past,
though it fades with each memory...
bring me back to the crystal skies,
and the winds sure breeze--
for that was my true home...
now i sit as a girl,
in a world of hate and lies;
where i can't belong...
i'm loosing my past..
don't let me die in this bad dream.

Ooh. That's a scary one. You should read my nightmare one.  Simply 
titled "Nighmare" on this cf.  (selfless plug)  :)

I would say haunting, myself.  You have a wonderful command of imagery, 
although I believe this skill can and will be further improved with 
time.  The Imagist movement (as my wife described it to me) would be 
proud of you.

(myself, I fancy myself a surrealist/Imagist poet)

in the immortal words of Cartman  "Sweet!"

this is good...

"soaring on the wind's warm breath,
 spinning into colorful feilds,
 becoming one with their waves of emotion--"

That right there is just a wonderful set of lines

Interesting feedback you've got here, Zoe.  Thinking about publishing a 
book of your work.  If you did, I'd buy it.  I always go for good 
poetry.  Gives me some ideas of how I can improve my own stuff.

resp: 5--  Real life always seems to give strength and structure to art; 
if you subscribe to the idea that art is expression of reality, however 
creatively reconstructed.

no one really reads poetry anymore... not since the romantic age.. i 
have already been published, it didn't feel right... its like giving a 
peice of myself to strangers to discet.. i don't enjoy exposing my soul 
to just random people... i'm shy.. i wouldn't be here if it weren't for 
joe's encouragement...
