Description I want a wreck I
can connect with

some un-
settled sun
to be sung
and soon strung
from
strings

previously
unattached

a heartsong
plucked
in resplendent
collapse

breath snatched
in gasps
hands clasped
spanning gaps
and gulfs
engulfed
in our
grasp
a long longing
that laughs
as it lasts

we'll make
memories
(a thing
ofthe past)

This whole piece is beautiful, and this is my favorite part. Which, due to your splendid form, is like saying I like the middle of a sentence better than the beginning or end, but that's not really what I meant.

Excellent opening and closing strophes. That really resonates, wanting a wreck you can connect with, and then making memories a thing of the past. You're quite adept at capturing the universals of human experience.

P.S re the author's comment: I say, yes. He most certainly should, I assert that it's the only gentlemanly response possible given the circumstances.

I love this! great compositions you got out there. I always wished to read about the term "strings attached" in a poem therefore thank you! it was beautiful! your Author's Comments is very funny at first read, but I hope it's not a sad case.

It was weird. I started this poem with "I'm not going to like this..." and ended it with a

breath snatched
in gasps
hands clasped
spanning gaps

I love the casual nature of the rhyme.


we'll make
memories
(a thing of
the past)

I just. Liked this?

Also, your artist's comments made me smile for some reason. I'm in the weirdest mood, apparently.
