How I Left
By: R.A.B. on 3/10/2004; 3:36 AM

To the moon we go,
with a thousand daffodils in tow--
with our hearts beating as one--
with our hands swinging as one.


To the cliff we go--
with Kyle's tombstone my one,
and with my shovel in tow--
as I dig a grave only for one.


Only for one--
For I left you with the man--
and, with, the daffodils,
My half of our beating hearts,
and the hands-- that were swinging as one.

This is pretty cool-- do you plan on setting it to music? The flow is good, but (and I don't mean to sound...rude...I guess) but the second stanza isn't like the first and last, so unless that was intentional, I think perhaps changing the second line with some small revision. Also, the last line of the first stanza, perhaps the rhyme could be changed? "one" and "one" is perhaps a little redundant for the voice of the poem. It has a cool voice and theme, though. I like it. Wish I could write like that.

Indeed. Good to be back ^____^

Thanks for the comments =)

I guess the overuse of repetition came from too much listening to Radiohead music. Paying attention paying attention paying attention paying attention paying attention...woops...
