Depart

Toward the wasteland,
We say goodbye,
Nothing but pouts,
And desperate sighs.

Tears are flowing,
The shadows part,
Whispering, "I love you"
With broken hearts.

The soldiers turn,
Their soul's black,
Boarding the ship,
Without looking back.

Re: Depart

Over all it is pretty good

I only will offer up one little itsy bitsy peice of advice

It would flow better if you dropped the "as" from the 2nd and 6th line

Thumbs up Re: Depart

I didn't find the flow very pleasing, though the edit helped a lot. What I did like was the scope of the poem. It is a profound view that only so many people know first-hand. If I may ask (obviously, I may; however, you may not reply), is this from personal experience? My own was similar, yet very different.

Very compelling writing, though I think you have the ability to make it much better. You should try to work on this some more. You might come to fall very much in love with the end result.

Re: Depart

No this wasn't from personal experience. I was sitting in Pizza Hut one day, thinking about war and how grieving and useless attempts can be...no, half of what I write is purely imagining myself if someone else's shoes. I like to write from others' views...It's nice every once in a while.

And thank you. I know the flow isn't the best, but I have thought of extending a bundle of my poems. I just need to get around to it.
