I Live A Life That Is Not Mine Poem by Gaivota Gaivota

when sadness and grief r penned using words like 'frog, tree...' for me that`s the expert way of poetry. if u can get for example, love point without mentioning the word love, ur a great poet. i think u demonstrated it already

This is a quality poem. Raw, honest, deep. Well done!

Oi Gaivota - isto e poen real do coracao! Welcome to Poemhunters - it is lovely to have someone from the beautiful land of PORTUGAL. Your poem is very emotive. In verse one you give a cry from the heart which we have all made when we evaluate our situation 'The one who cries is NOT ME'. In verse two you try to escape. Verse three is lovely - If it's not me who is it? A flee - A frog - A tree can we transfer our pain into the fauna and flora? Alas we wish it away and others do not see - but deep inside it is still there. 'And no one will see - But ME - the one who dies'. If you have pain then the lovely POEMHUNTER FAMILY and especially your FRIENDS acn share all the pain and help you heal. You might like to read SOUL MATE. Ame em Poesia - JOHN
