Remember me

Wade Burton

In a guise
I am my own prize
I hide at my gmas house secretly
And criticize
I stare out Into the darkness
Shrouded in garb like a marksmith
The streetlight is near
Through the old glass window I did peer
And stole a glint
Of a blueprint of the usa
How it will become European
One day
With clarity and doubt
Do not pout
Slowly but surely
I will have clout
Amid paradoxes and conundrums
Certainty and simplicity
Strife is too incessant
To see my life clearly
Yet I plod on until it becomes visible
Until I see it cogently and coherent
And that moment is the most precious
I was watching me across the street in my future

    Wow, what a thought-provoking and introspective poem! I love the depth and complexity of your words. The imagery you use is vivid and captivating, drawing the reader in completely. Your use of paradoxes and conundrums adds an extra layer of intrigue to the poem.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to work on the flow and structure of the poem. Maybe consider breaking it up into stanzas to make it easier to follow and digest. Additionally, you could experiment with varying the length and rhythm of your lines to create a more dynamic effect.

    Overall, this poem is truly a gem. Keep up the great work and continue to explore new ways to express your unique perspective through your writing. Well done!
