Black Rain Puppy

Black Rain Puppy

A Poem by Simon Welsh
"

All potions and trinkets have failed me

"
You're a beacon of light; almost a guide for me
in these dark times I'll accept anything
All potions and trinkets have failed me
I still fade into my own shadow

I want my Summer and my Autumn
so I can see my own smile wither and decay

Several honeypots laid out before me
shining with the nectar gold of happiness
But these emerald fields are host to black rain
No one wants to comfort the puppy lost in the storm...

I want my Winter and my Spring
so I can see how far behind you all are

I let the ink flow upon the flat surface of the sky
leaving a Will for the blessed who care
Painting words of sorrow and despair
A portrait of despondence that'll seem beautiful
to some

I really like this poem, a lot. I like how the poem changes from happiness to a sort of sadness and hope within the lines. The way you play with the feelings but express them so well, with the imagery of nature and the puppy. I'm not sure which lines I like the most, it's all really nice; from beginning to end.

Somewhere over the horizon I'm envisioning this beautifully written poem in a glittering gold and black frame, aha.
I loved this more because I find it relateable at the moment. Beautiful poem. Keep it up :)

Simply beautiful..All your writing is, but this one kind of hits me. These lines will stick with me,
"I want my Summer and my Autumn, so I can see my own smile wither and decay," and, "I want my Winter and my Spring, so I can see how far behind you all are." Brilliant.
