My Rhythmless Song by emaculate99: 7:53pm On Oct 31, 2015
My Rhythmless Song

Silence speaks over the noise
Timeless walks in over my time
Dancing to the tune not played
Yet I sing my rhythmless song.

I sat down with my flute
Playing a rhythmless song
Over and over again
But none is listening to me.

Of who I seek to listen to me speak
In this deafening silence
Overtaking my heart in this graveyard.

But, like a thought unknown in a known place,
I found you coming my way
Listening to my rhythmless song
Which you found interesting
And full of rhythms.

A lil spicy here, a lil faith there
A lil tot here, a lil plot there

I just blaze, never afraid to phrase

You learner? sad

Well, another great piece from you.

Keep writing like this and better and watch your fan base grow cuz you write good.

I observed that your personification and oxymoron usage in the poem, I guess such usage were employed to evoke the true meaning and message to the poem.

On a lighter note, what I find funny is your punctuation having its own paragraph. cheesy

Well, it made it look a little bit disorganised. A stanza is usually made with a paragraph, so give back the lines the 'full stop' it deserves and use your 'enter' key to create the stanzas.

This is better than you think it is. I can't critic this, I am still an underdog.
