What Love may do

What Love may do

A Poem by Isobel Moon
"

Short poem about two lovers who are kept apart, but still in love

"
The wind ran through
Her dark long hair
and the mountains echoed
around her.
He sat inside
Staring out at the lawn
and the world moved on
around him.
They gazed at the moon
from their sides of the country
and let time slip by
around them.
The world keeps spinning
yet closer they come
and energy burns
around them.

I went for repetition here, but I'm not sure if it worked as intended

Really good poem and I like the imagery. And the repetition did well. It helped make the poem better. Good job!

Your use of repetition was very effective as it tied the poem together, you introduced your first character in the first stanza, your second character in the second stanza and then how they yearn for each other in the last two stanza's. It is a perfectly written poetic story. Keep writing!

wow, thanks so much. I really appreciate the feedback :)
Absent or distant love can be painful. Your expression of that absence is prevalent in this work. Thank you for sharing

You are welcome.
It's very good. The repetition adds to the tone of the poem. It slows everything down like a movie in slo-mo for the climax. I also like the 'her' 'him' and then together, together. It's beautiful. ^^ Keep Dreaming

Thank you, your review means a lot
I like it a lot. The repetition works for me because the poem is short and not drawn out. Also the meter is not perfect but it is rhythmic and flows well. The picture you suggest is clear and there are no ambiguities in what you are suggesting. There's almost a statement without saying so directly which is so important in poetry. They long for each other and that energy will one day fuse them together again in the future. "They gazed at the moon from their side of the country." That is the link for me. Great poem. Keep writing.

Thank you for your review!
Your poem seems to be about two people who are apart but they are coming closer.
"yet closer they come"
Was that your intent, to show that the distance between them is dwindling?
