Tim Smith Poet Rhyme

Shards of Blue

Threadbare eyes hold long the night
secrets trip past most scathing blight
dual is the dark last to be unearthed
mirrored the lens  a mind disturbed

Hark, the shrills prepare the abyss
left back to carry on a burden amiss
with the wind let the trembles lie
still  where cherry blossoms die

Threadbare eyes hold long the night
sense forth dawn and hope of light
where tender tales are told of you
beneath most daunting shards of blue

Sara Ella June 17, 2017 at 12:16 AM This is a sad one Tim and yet so well done - I especially love the last stanza <3

Charlie Smith June 16, 2017 at 11:55 PM I'm afraid I might need a head lamp and a pick axe to figure this one out, but I think I like it...

Andrea Dietrich June 16, 2017 at 9:09 PM Like Chris says, deep and dark, Tim. Love your interesting imagery!

Chris Green June 16, 2017 at 5:17 PM Very deep and dark Tim.

Dale Gregory Cozart June 16, 2017 at 5:13 PM This is beautifully written, but so sad. Sounds like time for a dirty limerick!

Daniel Turner June 16, 2017 at 4:46 PM Sounds like a bad dream to me Tim Dark poetry seems a lot more personal. Do you agree? Tim Smith June 16, 2017 at 4:56 PM I do think so DT. A lot of this came from the feelings I got from a book I finished last night.

Lin Lane June 16, 2017 at 4:33 PM You're right to label this one deep and dark. I'm getting a ladder to help you climb out. What a terrific line, Tim..."Threadbare eyes hold long the night!" Tim Smith June 16, 2017 at 4:53 PM Thanks Lin, I liked it so much I used it twice : )
