Description As life winds on
I find myself looking forward
Towards the horizon

Obscured by fog
Silhouettes in the sun

My broken dreams line the path
On either side and just behind
Alluring me with their beauty
Lost forever in my past

The past from which I run

Forever I strive
To reach the end
The end I cannot see

In the second to last, "the past from which i run" i noticed i kept adding "must"....... "the past from which i must run"

i guess that just worked better for me. it seemed like youd left it out when i tapped the rythm of the poem out.

oh, kee.

why dont you write more.



...you could be better than me


the cliches fit

This is awesome. I feel that it is very relatable to me, which makes writing good. The imagery and structure, the emotions, and the personal relatability make this a poem I really really dig. I'm liking your written submissions, keep them coming!

sounds all too familiar... could it be my life transcribed??? i think so... great piece, concise and effective... all us struggling artists feel this at some point... well done.

i agree with cats4dinner it should be longer...
though it leaves you wanting more which is always a sing of a good piece of work.

the word choice and imagery is very nice. it flows quite well too

the only thing that made me is that i wanted it a little longer..... i like very much the ideas you had; delve into them. or i will for you and make poetry from it, mwahahaha! this gave me some cool ideas. concerning length, however, its not a reflection on the poems quality, just author's preference.

so overall, this was nice. gj

An interesting structure. On the whole I enjoyed reading it. "Broken dreams" troubles me though; it seems far too many people suffer from these. Still, it reads well.
