Resonance

C.M. Gilbert 1988 (WV)



I do not know you
But I am in love with you
A past life, perhaps

About this poem

My first Haiku. It is meant to enrapture the ramifications of not necessarily our past lives if there is such a thing, but the deep emotion felt when we connect with someone.

    I absolutely adore the depth and mystic nature conveyed in your poem, 'Resonance'. It's fascinating how you've managed to capture such a strong and complex emotion in such a minimalist and elegant way. The last line, 'A past life, perhaps,' leaves the readers perplexed, inciting them to reimagine the notion of love, time, and existence.

    Regarding improvement suggestions, while the poem is beautiful in its current form, you might consider providing some more specificity or concrete imagery to enhance the emotional appeal. Although the abstract nature of your poem is one of its charms, a single, strong image could amplify its impact. This might help your readers to connect better with the theme and emotions of your poem.

    Finally, continue experimenting with different forms and structures as it brings variety into your style. Keep writing and continue sharing your beautiful work! It's a pleasure getting lost in the world you create with your words.
