How good is your memory? I stole this poem from ALL of you. Do you recognize your line(s)?

Question

Clawing my way back
from the dead end of memory lane,
breathing in...

the scent sends me there.
I have arrived
alone
this time.

An empty, empty field where I
can stand and fill it with
my screams expanding like
a new sunrise across a white sheet.
Where the creek turns into a trickle and enters the forest,
he found her, with a face scraped old by time.

Like a magnet, she attracts those lost for light...

but the sun doesn't shine,
the answers aren't heard,
and the longing
is all
that remains...

....like honey
from the hummingbird's beak,
the lost possessions

found along the roads...

I gathered the pieces and held them to my heart.
Help me lay them down
as wooden tiles
and seal them under glass
carefully within a sturdy frame.

Answer 1

Answer 2

I have to disagree, Andy P: Line 6 belongs to me -- "alone."

From my magnum opus, "Ode to Alone Shark."

(I, too, stole from Line 30.



Other phrases I will claim:

Clever montage, Cheesy. I have some guesses about the authors of other phrases, so hope this winds up like a crossword puzzle, with answers to be revealed.

Answer 3

Hey Tori, beautiful poem. As far as critique goes, I believe you might reduce just a few minor things and tighten it up somewhat (nevertheless if something is essential to your which means or you disagree please ignore). Right here goes (what I've braketing I think you would cut): someplace in the darkness [I think] sleep wrapped in nighttime blue silk--Sleep wrapped in middle of the night blue silk is uncommon. [was] stolen away from me. I have no cut suggestions for the 2nd strophe. Though, I wish to see one of the vital identical evocative imagery from the primary strophe brought down. Even as there may be nothing unsuitable with desires and thoughts, I would like to see one of the crucial midnight blue silk satisfactory of portraits grounding S2 in a extra concrete trend. All that mentioned, I do rather just like the poem. I'm hoping a few of that was necessary.

Answer 4

There is nothing there by me because I don't write maudlin melancholy crap.

maybe you stole an "and" or a "the" from something I wrote.





Nope I checked, none of the adverbs are mine.



Why am I not surprised that all the maudlin melodrama came from fait?
