    fallen star(s)

    iridescent dripping essence
    - i can taste the hues,
    space: the view;

    i apologize for looking straight through you.
    sighs and skies, interspersed, shape an ancient tune
    we reprise every time i seem to wait for news.

    rhyme and reason, interchange, can't replace the two,
    nascent dew. tear drops. unearth a picture - painted boon:
    you were a drifter, star-gazer far greater than the sun of your
    parts. laid in clouds, or beyond, while i gazed at shoes.

    i'm grateful, too, if now only for the place we knew
    where we could never evade the truth, despite
    every tête-à-tête representing your face as new.

    space: the view.
    i can trace the few
    little remnants of quintessence.

    ...

    10 minutes. i can un-rhyme/rhymes less it's just almost ingrained. tell me this was gay and stuff.

    This was in 'Picture This'. When I first read I knew I saw it somewhere else. Anyway, just letting you know I read it and will digest to shit out some feed later on.

    I love this bit hah. Eating colours. Mind bending.


    you were a drifter, star-gazer far greater than the sun of your
    parts. laid in clouds, or beyond, while i gazed at shoes.
    I also liked this bit, but it kinda fell off with you just mentioned shoes. Kinda felt like that shoe ending was a bit underwhelming. I like the wording up till gazed. I see the boon rhyme.


    i'm grateful, too, if now only for the place we knew
    where we could never evade the truth, despite
    every tête-à-tête representing your face as new.
    I liked this verse the most, in terms of the overall message and way it flows.

    space: the view.
    i can trace the few
    little remnants of quintessence
    .

    I also like the carry on from the start bit. those bits are cool to me.

    Overall, i was liking the rhymes but the overall message wasnt that strong to me, started out pretty awesome though. With some editing on some underwhelming wording and add in a little stronger imagry n id like this more.. but not bad. I think you are talking to yourself in this piece. I do like the concept, just could be worked on more.

    Fair. Its meaning was dual, here's one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoegazing - didn't rhyme just to rhyme. Also, imagery was scant as (i wanted it that way or) it was written to an image:



    not sure if that helps?! appreciate the feed, nignog.

    I enjoyed this. It was like a complex bed time story. I felt like you were digesting
    the picture and then interpreting it into it's basic form.
    I was fine with the rhyming, thought it worked well.

    i apologize for looking straight through you.

    I connected most with this part and it was probably my favorite section. It gave me
    a real feeling of being small and almost insignificant.
    As far as improvements, I think length maybe thought I don't feel it's necessary. The
    lack of capitalization bugs me at the beginning of sentences but again it's a minor thing
    with this poem. Maybe even a good thing hmm, it does go along with my feeling of being
    small compared to the infinite universe. Good Work.
