A Poetry Experiment


Knickknacks on the Shelf of Life

There is a world
from which heaven descends.
There is a dream
from which passion begins.
And there is a truth
from which life ends.
But among these things
stands the paramount sin.
There is you.


Every now and then I enjoy experimenting with my own writing style. Generally, I like to adorn (sometimes overly so) my writing, especially my poems, so I like mix it up and make my poetry a little stark on occasion. Purposefully simple words can convey a message of feelings that are totally unadulterated and that is what I decided I wanted after writing the first to lines. I know it isn't anything remarkable, even anything new, but I would love some constructive feedback if anyone could manage to pull it out of them for something so simplistic. Thanks.
