Green Grass

24. Apr, 2007

Green Grass

It is the green grass,

The green grass

That captures my eye

And grows in my mind.

It is the green grass,

The green grass

That spreads like a weed

And kills all the flowers.

It is the green grass,

The green grass

That has morning dew,

Which flows through my eyes.

It is the green grass,

The green grass

That I run after,

Chasing blindly

With ragged breath

And wild heartbeat

As it recedes

At my touch.

What repulsion

This green grass,

Green grass feels.

So I catch it now

And sew it in my words.

I make a running stitch,

My words are a needle

And this green grass,

Green grass is the thread.

You,

Green grass, green grass,

How will you escape from

This poem?

    God! How do you do that? There are such beautiful imageries here…perfection…each word almost sewn into a fabric of completion…I cant find any critique…or maybe im not able to be judgemental here…so…to be on the safe side:

    9.5/10

    You’ve done well with the repetition, the green grass till the end becomes so ‘green’ that the reader really thinks how will it ever end? I really liked the end of the poem, its like saying exactly wat the reader feels!

    Your poem also has a rythem to it, probably because of the illiteration of ‘g’. A job well done :)
