Design of Fire-- A poem
Oftentimes when I write poetry, I do so from the point of view of one of the characters from my stories. This is such a poem. It is by far not my best, just one that I enjoy reliving.
Any constructive critisism would be appreciated. Design of Fire graceful fingers trace a pattern in the air a snap of the same fingers causes it to flicker flicker flicker flicker ignite and the graceful fingers of graceful hands clap gleefully as the flames burn bluer and the flames burn brighter brighter brighter brighter doused by another’s laughter and graceful hands cover a face filled with anguish and graceful fingers wipe away tears |
I really like that poem. :3
Keep up the good work. x3 |
wow, that's really good :D
|
Thanks you two. ^^ I'm planning on posting more soon. I have to type them out first. XP

Ooh, I do like the repition. ^^ It sounds almost...like rhetoric, the way it becomes emphasised.
Normally I would complain about a lack of form (I like form) but in this case it's such a short and to the point piece I think it works fine alone like that. The only thing I think stands out is "as the flames burn bluer", I don't know there's just something a bit off about this line compared to the rest of it (plus I don't like the word 'bluer', it's a bit kiddish xD). But yeah, otherwise I really like it! And I'm not just saying that because I know you, I do think it's a nice little piece. :) |
I too like the repetition. I think it makes it sound lyrical almost like a song. The words created a picture and you followed through with it nicely. Great job! |
I love it. The 'Bluer' thing bugs me too, but how else would you put it?

i saw this on my fridge magnet
sit down my friend and talk to me lets share our thoughts over cups of tea (sorry about my spelling) |

Maybe Zero will be able to come up with something. ^^
Or maybe I messed up her poem. xD ^^; |
maybe you could just say
the flames burn blue, or you could say, growing blue but whatever you want... |
You didn't mess it up. I really wasn't sure what to put... I try to use short and simple words most of the time... but "bluer" ... maybe I meant to put "brighter"? Hmm... that might work. ^^
Thank you all for the comments!~ Edit: Most of my poems are free-form... Well, why say free-form when that means no-form. I normally don't do well with structured poems... it seems like I force things when I try to structure them. ^^;; |
I thought this was a very awesome poem. I liked the imagery, and the way you used words... and especially the repetition. It's annoying when overused, but wonderful when used just right... and I definitely think you used it just right! =D
The only place the repetition bothered me was here: "... and the graceful fingers of graceful hands" It just seemed redundant and didn't have as neat of an affect as the other repetition. n.n; |
That was a really cute poem. I hope to see other poems made by you. <3
