A Sip

Folder: 
2002

Half empty

Half full

Life sits

Like that

Take a sip

Remember

Minutes

Spent together

I won't forget

But I'll live

In the now

Because the past

Is broken somehow

It doesn't hurt

So much

I can find air

To breathe

Because sometimes

A sip

Is all that I need

An excellent take on how to place the past right where it should be. You can only read a book for the first time, once.

your poem's really jilted and doesn't run straight. i realize that you probably wrote it with that style in mind, but the style preference doesn't add to the motivation of the poem and it just seems like a half-finished piece of work. i DID like how you seemed to start to try and mirror the beginning and the end to try and connect it all- but that also needed a bit of organization to make it really reflect what you were trying to show.

Great imagery! "A sip is all I need..." has been my life's credo. This is a wonderful way of looking at hurt and loss. How old are you, You wise-beyond-your-years child? I am very impressed with your work. Very impressed.
