Regret

By: Ethan West


The grass sways in time with my heart

Funny how these things do start


I was not here a moment ago

But now that I am, I am here for the show


My spirit elated I run through the grass

The grandest of things I hurriedly past


Till found myself at the end of my path

My heart had then sunk at my pitiful laugh


My journey was over and now it had ended

The beautiful grass and field no more


I ran through it all and never respected

The beauty of life I would leave evermore

Oh this sounds like an interesting journey. :) I loved the last two stanzas the most because when I read the second to last I was confused I was thinking "where'd the rhyme go?" Lol, but then I finished it and once again you stunned me with rhyme pattern change. :) From aa to abab. A great couplet. Good job.

Awesome poem. It shows how people don't appreciate their surroundings and don't take time to bring in everything around them, that they go through life not giving everything that one look that is worth it.

Very clever wording. Too often we speed through life, never slowing down to truly appreciate it's wonder. Another great poem ^_~
