Grasping The Heart

A meditation in poetry form

Happiness, Sorrow, Love, Inspiration

          Bound to humble letters and words

                    Created by the hands of mere men

              Who fool themselves in confidence

To think of these things as infinitetly bound

        

              Convincing themselves that they know their meaning

                        By only lightly touching the surface of their depth

                                    Futilely unaware of each heart and the feeling it holds

                               Imagination and poetry the great explorers of heart

                      Endlessly changing and forever infinite

Now this is amazing and so wonderful, I liked this alot......Kim

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I like it down to the last where it got kind of repetitive. Infinitely.... How about, "Endlessly changing and forever infinite" instead? The form gives way to stops and starts in the reading but nothing really jolted me about the format. I still liked the overall production.

[Guardian]

I really liked the piece. The format was interesting and the flow was perfect. It kept me reading down the page. I loved the imagery. The first stanza in particular spoke to me. I feel like every word was used effectively and powerfully. Fantastic job.

I like the line "who fool themselves in confidence"
the symmetrical format is appeasing as well.
peace

I like the format. It gives the piece a cascading feel which is relevant to its content. The content itself is understood and agreed. We are nowhere close to understanding. Great work!


Just a few typos:

Infinetly - 'infinitely'
Futiley - 'futilely'
