I reach for a teasing tomorrow
but sink between the fingers of tonight... this is beautiful.
You try to disguise your thoughts, forget your dreams but they haunt your mind, leading you into sadness, uncertainty. You look for you endlessly.

    You got it spot on. Look for you endlessly. That's poetic. I like your reviews.

    Glad you enjoyed my review. Please take care of yourself. I'm doing a break about writing poetry, I'm writing my novel at the moment, and feel I can't concentrate on two projects at the same time. I'll be back to finish my book of poetry when the novel is finished.

My heart squeezes for a purpose I cannot find- squeezes very effective, denoting panic or feeling crushed, the beat no longer your friend, but a cold robotic almost like being merely life support. Sounds like you are in a dark place. I hope the light finds you.

Greg, I love that you give different poetry forms a try, but your free verse is when you truly shine. Your emotion is wrapped around these words and so easy to share with you. Your alliteration is wonderful and your final line is a heart grabber for sure.
Smiles,
Karyn : )

Greg, this is really wonderful. I loved each line more than the last, always thinking this one is my favorite. You really out-did yourself with this very emotional poem. I think I understand the serious nature of this, and it really pulls my emotions. I may have felt this way too sometimes. Great work of art.

It really isn't very often that I read a piece and just go "WoW" because the ending of the piece just...you know, sad to say, but I can't find the right words. It has such impact. You really feel the heartcry in the last line. perfect culmination to a great work. Love your imagery, as always. : )

Searching for tomorrow .... seems elusive, just out of reach, but there is hope. These are the messages conveyed to this reader via your poem GregoryCody.

Fave lines ... "my heart squeezes for a purpose I cannot find" & "a constant beat taunting, tapping blind". Great imagery created for the reader with your words. Good use of alliteration with "wishes within a whispered" and "slippery sleep".

A thought provoking poem. Well done GregoryCody!

This is a six...and i dont have any to give...very powerful metaphoric lines of thought. The first line alone was pleasing to my thoughts. I love the alliteration of letters throughout this. ...well written.

    Thank you so much Nicci, I wasn't really expecting anyone to review it so Im so grateful you did. This was just raw emotion that needed to come out and writing is the only way I have to vent I guess. I didn't even think about a certificate, I'm sorry. Next one for sure. You're great, thank you so much.

A free style poem of powerful emotion that taunts the heart "for a purpose it cannot find." Compelling soul searching that churns and spins in the ashes of your dreams. Your have a poets heart that expresses thoughts eloquently. Here you use unique structure to help convey the motion in mimicked jagged lines. Such turmoil! Nicely done!
