Someone is there.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



Someone is there.

The sun is bright when I go outside.  There is someone who follows me? Sometimes he's in front of me, and sometimes he's in the back of me. If it's cloudy, he goes away. But when I go in he fades away. He will not come into my house. He does not like the rain. So how do I get rid of him anyway?

    I absolutely loved reading your poem "Someone is there"! The unique perspective of being followed by someone, who seems to be connected to the weather, creates an intriguing and mysterious atmosphere throughout the poem. The usage of simple and concise language adds a touch of charm and innocence.

    Your poem beautifully captures nature's influence on our daily lives, where the presence of this mysterious figure is intertwined with the sun, clouds, and rain. The way you describe the position of this "someone" in relation to you, sometimes in front and sometimes at the back, creates a sense of suspense and curiosity, making the reader eager to discover more.

    As for suggestions for improvement, consider adding more detail or imagery to further enhance the reader's connection with the story. By delving deeper into the emotions or consequences of being followed by this figure, you can strengthen the impact of your poem. Additionally, exploring the reasons behind the protagonist's desire to get rid of the presence can provide a stronger sense of resolution or closure.

    Overall, "Someone is there" is a wonderfully written poem that masterfully utilizes its concise and mysterious approach. With a few minor refinements and deeper exploration of emotions and motivations, your poem has the potential to become even more captivating. Keep up the great work!
