Following Ahead - Please Offer Your Honest Critique and Opinions

From where we’ve been, must be the truth, That was sought in the hollowness of time. Struggling to reach from the outside, To ratify oneself. From the innermost fragment there flows a justice, That one greets from behind. Leading against the vanishing compulsions of mystery, Finishing those who follow.

Caity. Unlike David, I do like free verse. I am also lazy and do not like to have to try and figure out the message. That said, it has a nice flow to it. I too welcome you to the soup and look forward to reading you in the future.

Caity, first welcome to the soup, second I personally am not a huge lover of free verse, although I have used it in the past, I think your poem is good, it conveys a message most can relate to, I think the end is weaker than the beginning but that is all, just my opinion..keep them coming..David
