Upon Further Reflection

If only not so lonely,
Perhaps then I might see:
How two are one, but when we're we
That I am you and you are me.

I loved this poem! Wonderful work! Adding it to my favorites! I have struggled with loneliness and self identity for awhile. How people see me on the outside, does not reflect who I am on the inside. That is what my poem "Dark Angel", is all about...Thank you for reading and commenting kindly on my poem. I really appreciate it!

I sincerely appreciate that, Kelly. Your poem was really cool. I love it when the imagery is so strong, I feel like I am right there, in the poem itself :)

Comments to the comments....Reason A Poteet...her comments are finally the voice of Reason (pun intended). I have read some of her work and I think she teaches literature. Her work is impeccable, like yours. Danesh and John, Oh my, they haven't a clue but thank you for trying to give them one :)

greetings thou you have done quite well i do believe the mistake the last poet mention about is on the third line , but when we're we . . . is not correct nor does it sound so but that's not meant to be but who are we? are two example i think adding a we ending is very hard but maybe you can think a better phase. .

The contraction is supposed to mean, "but when we are we"; eliminating the contraction and using "when we are we" throws off the rhythm. I see why it's problematic, but if you read "we're" and understand it means "we are", then perhaps that will help it make more sense. Hope that clarifies. Thanks for the review! :)

You will find the people here very nice, it is an excellent community. At times there will be drama, sometimes people's spirits can be riled after all poets tend to feel emotions with intensity. However if you offer others grace they will respond in kind. No one is expected to be perfect. I hope you enjoy. Welcome to the soup.
