Solitude
“Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece.” – R.W. Emerson

The barren soul of one who hurts
Screaming, screaming, screaming – nature’s lonely etude
Dying souls make not a sound
The somber silence of solitude

The aching heart of troubled pasts
Pounding, pounding, pounding – nature’s lonely etude
Breaking hearts make not a sound
The somber silence of solitude

The stale, dry wind of solemn spirits
Whispering, whispering, whispering – nature’s lonely etude
Falling spirits make not a sound
The somber silence of solitude

The somber silence of solitude

I'm rather fond of this one...it turned out nice considering that it was an English project and I had a whole bunch of requirements and devices I had to use. So it took a long time, but I like.

Um...to set it up just a bit...we were studying Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Nature" and we had to take a picture of nature, write about it (using certain poetic devices), and include a quote from "Nature". I can't attach the picture I chose, because it's not mine, it's from a National Geographic magazine. But so you kind of get the point, it was of a caimen sitting all alone on the vast area of dry, cracked, dirt which used to be a pond.

Yeah, so, as usual, all critique is welcome.

*is envious of annaness' mad poetry skillz*

I don't even know how to describe what I like about it except that I think it's awesome. I love how you described each 'silent' thing (ie. the souls etc.)

I dunno. Like I said. I don't know how to tell you how cool I think this poem is. I hope you got an A++++++++++ on it!
