Raw, personal and also a fantastic poem on a technical level. I really love the way you use metaphor
I am trailed by disappointments
Like wake behind a ship
Going in circles, because the compass
Never points quite due north
I see those I love
Drowning in waves of my inadequacies
So I throw them a life vest
and then follow up on this imagery through out the rest of the poem with all of the ocean imagery, riptides and sharks of memories.
This is the best thing I have read on steemit today. Great poetry @stitchybitch
Thank you SO much for such a flattering compliment! This was incredibly hard to post and your positive feedback means the world to me!
I am really glad you liked the imagery! I love poems that you can "see".
<3 Thank you again! <3
Your most welcome stitchy. I really liked the poem. You should most definitely keep writing them. I'm also a massive fan of visual poetry and most of mine end up very imagery-heavy ;-) It is a fantastic thing when the imagery is unique and not cliche which yours is (unique) and isn't (cliche).
