The Question

The Question

By: Ethan West

If I bring a word to tattered page

Will there be man to read my word?

To hear my sorrows and my rage

And love if I allow a third

I sit before this broken glass

A mirrored, broken, tattered dream

My love for life has made me last

Tis what I hoped, and what it seemed

But I must wonder in my heart

Was this poem meant to start?

This is the most realistic poem I've read in a while.

"If I bring a word to tattered page
Will there be man to read my word?
To hear my sorrows and my rage
And love if I allow a third..."

Those are my most favorite lines of this poem (insert heart here)

We have a lot of questions in our head rooted from our very experience. Self doubt, insecurities and so forth. But when you sit down with a pen in your hand those things can become your powerful tool to create a great work of art. You just don't write for theneed of it. You write because you see a butterfly flits across the room and then suddenly you hear the leaves of the maple tree calling you. When it happens, a poem is meant to start.

Excellent choice of words. Impressive work!

for me a poem always start from a question and then on it will flow just like the emotion runs in our physical body. good job.

You know I really didn't do this poem justice.The rhyme is good I think we need to promote more of it here.This is a deep look and answer to a inner thought .Of course it was meant to start how else could it come to creation I enjoyed it It uses words in a different order than I am use to That is a good thing.i would like nothing more than to learn from my friends

Definitely enjoyed reading the introspective questions proposed here. It especially relates to the heart and soul of the writer with its beautiful contrast between beginning in life and the beginning of a written work. Very nice writing! :)
