Time heals

poem

Time heals

I dance under the rain
Like a kid once again
Raindrops stop so suddenly
So time heals occasionally

Don't forget a love you lived
Even if your feelings are mixed
If thorns hurt you by remembrance
Then roses gave you a beautiful fragrance

Look at the bond between your eyes
They sleep & cry together through the times
Although they never ever meet
Somehow together they are complete

That should always be you and I
Dont believe your delusional lie
Time heals broken hearts
And now our new beginning starts

Mary Oliver - August
When the blackberries hang
swollen in the woods, in the brambles
nobody owns, I spend

all day among the high
branches, reaching
my ripped arms, thinking

of nothing, cramming
the black honey of summer
into my mouth; all day my body

accepts what it is. In the dark
creeks that run by there is
this thick paw of my life darting among

the black bells, the leaves; there is
this happy tongue.


the best way to learn how to write good poetry is to read a lot of it, and spend time analyzing why it is good. Mary Oliver one the pulitzer for the collection that this from. Analyze her use of figurative language. A good metaphor is like a good melody, it catches instantly, and remain persistently in your memory. It evokes a mood adds color. Most people dont have synesthesia, but our minds do at some level intermingle the sense. Different words have different "colors" and different melodies. Everything on the page should be in harmony. Try modeling Olivers use of figurative language and her meter. Notice how she breaks the syntatic units(enjambment). What effect does this have on the color of the feel of poem?

It's been years since I lost my grandfather, yet still I tear up every time I think about him. Time does heal but It takes more time for some people...
Nice poem overall. Good ryming and structure.

Only errors I found were that you spelled "together" and "beginning" wrong.
Very good rhyming, it doesn't seem forced.

Wow. This is beautifully written. I love the imagery in this piece. It's like I can picture everything in my head. This poem also has a lot of truth to it. Very well written. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing.

You capture an age old truth very well - I think the first stanza could stand all on it's own. Your diction get's a little choppy in the last two stanza's, but you still manage to get your point your across without it sounding forced. I like it.

I like the rain imagery, something I often do myself. This was a very beautifully written peace, lots of good words at work here. You set up a lot excellent images that do help to express the message of the poem perfectly.
