"Don't Look" 10 - 25 - 01
don't look
don't speak
your life is at it's peak
don't touch
don't walk
the line is as thin as chalk
don't look up
don't hope for more
or you'll regret what you're asking for
the shadow looms
over you so
inveitable, unavoidable
inescapable, it seems
just don't look
please don't speak
your life I want you to keep
your head tilts back
your eyes go wide
and then it falls
the grand piano of your life
it all ended so soon
things were just looking up
then you had to say,
"Hey, just my luck...."
Wrong catagory for this poem. I see this poem as a movie. The narator is the felon, who killed this person because they were too busy dwelling on their interval struggles to realize what was honestly going on in the outside. There's a lot of underlying messages in this poem and I know you did it on purpose. So, I commend you on it.
I loved this...the way it started with don't lok, don't speak then just don't look, please don't speak, ya almost end up willing the person just to look. It's dark, but almost sympathetic...i love it.

Wow, I love this poem! It is beautifully written and has so much wisdom! You are unbelievably talented and I really hope you never get to the point where you "never have time" to write, which is how I've been feeling lately...stay with it! :)
As usual, your poems are so true and wise. You have a lot of poems on here, man. Why don't you make a book or somethin'? LoL. Later, Josh and don't be afraid to e-mail me or IM me at this e-mail address since I finally got my WebTV back. Later.
