Lost in the Mud

Dirty and broken
dreams fall like
slanted rain in
a hurricane.
Mud-faced youth
plummet to the
ground.

Has a haiku sound to it, this one, but it is more understandable. There is a direct connection between the broken dreams and the mud faced youth who fall to the ground. Early disappointments can make the kids despair of things ever getting better. And for some, they don't.

[Thomas W Case]

Exactly. Thanks John.

quite the wake up call. the things we learn/experience in our youth can stay with us along with the feelings that never leave us. as adults it gets harder to get up and clean up messes.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you, my friend.

[JessyJacob]

what you are tyring to say, lose hope on GOD, and he will never take care of us. Does i make love you again if you hurt me this much, without making me to trust you???

nice writing here. can't go back to youth, as we grow older, dreams fold.. i like the connection b/w broken dreams and youth here in those lines.

[Thomas W Case]

Very good poem. Describes the feelings of the poet in short bursts.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

The more you throw mud at the wall, the more likely it will stick.
The more you try, the more the winnings or disappointments.
Excellently short.

[Thomas W Case]
