Icon5 Trampolines In the Ocean ¤Me¤ Started This Thread
Dawn awakes to a world with a hole,
A giant gap in the middle.

The streets are full of thrown out clothes,
A technicolor river.

And at once I stare at the sum that seemed to grow.

A nightingale has laid its head after one last pursuit,
A little girl hops off her bed with one red little shoe,
It is as if night itself has waken too.

And at once I stare at the group that seemed to slow.

As I lean over the windowsill and look at those pairs of eyes,
I lean into a world of thread that sets balance on pieces of skies.

And at once I stare at those pieces that seemed to glow.

Mouths dropped open and pockets full of lies,
One handkerchief finds its way out and flies.

Fascination floats about as one full portion,
And as I finally see,
I can't believe,
There are trampolines in the ocean.

Dawn awakes to a world with a hole,
A giant gap in the middle.

All that is sound is the winds blow,
And a wail from a cradle so little.

Insanity is what I now believe,
For it has changed its precaution,
And as I see I now receive,
Trampolines in the ocean.
Purple teardrops I cry...


Do you think unicorns are monsters?

Hello Me!

Wow, I really do like this poem of yours... I started reading it and just couldn't stop until I finally was done with the last line. I didn't even notice that it was rhyming until 3 stanzas or so in... which is quite impressive because I can generally predict what word is going to be rhymed with next and focus a lot on rhyming when there is rhyming in a poem. But, your rhyming was subtle and unpredictable... which I enjoyed. I got all of this great imagery as well when I was reading it and it hopped from one image to the next with each line. It flowed nicely and was imaginative too, I had a fun time reading it. I also liked your stanza structure and how you structured the entire poem. One of my favorite lines (which I did have many) was right in the beginning:

The streets are full of thrown out clothes,
A technicolor river.


I like how you describe it as a technicolor river, it made a really interesting image to imagine. Anywho, thanks for sharing and keep on writing away!

Hia dear!

I did not see madness at all in that poem. Rather I'd talk about powerful and yet delicate wording, brilliant structure that really boosts the words used giving them multi-meaning glow and thus the poem tremendous dynamics. Your poem can open up in so many ways depending on your own dispositions at that particular moment you read it. Brilliant!

Åströmmer ;-)
