Bianca Jones Poet Free verse

The Dawn

We all have a tendancy to fade
Becoming marred in a false reflection
An image that pretends though it is us who makes all of the effort
An image false in its merit-
     Therefore meritless
Slipping beyond the wonder that supercedes contentment
That borders on allusion and disenfranchisement
Though we want it, wanting it pure
So that soon even its fantasy doesn't exist
So that soon we've faded away into oblivion.

Sean L Sanders January 30, 2013 at 8:58 AM Very touching excellent poem written by a very good poet. I saw that you view another poet named Margherita Russo she's only 14 and I know it would mean alot for her to have you read her newest poem if you have the time. Thank you very much.

Debra Squyres January 15, 2013 at 4:21 PM Wisdom in these words...the reality vs the fantasy of who we are. I like the dawn as the analogy too, very fitting. I too see this as intropective. Great write !!

Curt Mongold January 15, 2013 at 2:53 PM Intersting write my friend, introspective and yet alludes to the emotions we all share at one time or another. Thanks for sharing... Curt
