and your vioce rang out on the edge of town.
Between this concrete city skyline
I watched the sun die,
swallowed up in the traffic.
I left to die with the sun,
to be forgotten.
To fade away into the evening dew,
into the shadows,
and into the wind.

Between this concrete city skyline
I watched the sun die,
swallowed up in the traffic.
I left to die with the sun,

To fade away into the evening dew,

Yes, you have a way with words, your language carries unique images. I would not be so quick to assume we could not see and enjoy that, sometimes people(me) get trapped in form and rhythym to the detriment of the work.

I am aware there are rules imagined for poetry. Please, break 'em all. Make up ur own rules.

If ur unaccustomed to writing in this way, you'll find it's even more challenging. (BTW, this was well done..a good and moody piece and reads well aloud. Good pace. You might try nmore in this form.)

The only comment I'd make is to choose ur words carefully. If u don't need a word...toss it...whatever it is. Keep writing...bob

Very nice poem...I like how you described the sun dieing. It makes the sun more organic and alive. I also like how you used all the nature imagry which gives the peom a fantastical tone that you dont get very often in poems, its very unique. Thanks for your comment on ways of the water.

I am not worthy of your current adoration, but a thousand thank you's just the same... Since you frightened me by reading some (awful) old writes of mine, I thought I'd return the favour. :)

First, congrats on the smirk-inducing author's note at the top. Way to announce yourself right off the hop! Hehehe. Free form or not, this is highly readable 10 years later, so that is something. Talk about setting a tone with highly visual words!

Wonderful.
