Leaded Glass

Submitted by Madeline on Mon, 08/29/2011 - 18:13

She tries to see

With one eye

Into the leaded glass

 

A foggy life

A quiet struggle

She watches as they pass

 

Living life

As she'd like to

When things go way too fast

 

But she draws back

Denied again

And off away she's cast

 It's mysterious, and quiet ( in a good way) which makes it more powerful if that makes sense. I l like that you don't say everything. I think that the girl's blinded in one eye. I like the rhyme scheme. Its simple but suits the poem.

I appreciate your comment. I'm glad you felt such while reading the poem--it was intended! I tried to make it mysterious yet revealing.

I need to get reading on the Overlords! Time seems so short. ;)
