    The Process of thoughts

    Hey guys,

    I thought I'd try to play with rhythms. This is an experiment of sorts for me.

    Enjoy!

    The Process of Thoughts


    Buzzards pick at solemn thoughts
    That never materialize until they’re
    Already deceased

    How fitting that a child would cry
    For days on end and never
    Be noticed by my humble whim

    Good. Now you might want to concentrate on sound. For example: "That" immediatly after "thoughts" clash, as does "and" right after "end."

    Have fun!

    Thank you for the feedback! I wrote this one impulse, but should have paid more attention to the way things are said.

    Definitely something to watch out for in the future

    I think I disagree with Dan. I like the thought imbued in your poem, and the sound of it, too. The two ideas juxtaposed, intriguing.

    I think it sounds like a wonderful beginning to a much longer poem. You might think about doing that
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Thanks for the input everyone, it's all greatly appreciated

    While I didn't think about sound of words on this piece, I do agree that some words can be edited/removed to tweak the flow of this poem.

    As for the length, it was originally fours stanzas, but I got rid of the last two since I found them excessive. Perhaps I'll add on to this in the future?

    Thanks again
