Curiously here

Member since 2003 · Posted 3 Sep 2003 · 6 comments

What is it that makes me go back To that place where moss grows And no one lives except the memory Etched deep in my brain of a sunset long ago When water tasted sweet and the Sun Was warm on my back and a young fresh girl Was in my arms and all we did was make love And talk and wonder what we would be doing when We were old and grey Came the day and it is difficult to see the Man that was the boy so much has disappeared How much of me is he and she is her and where In the time gone by did we lose ourselves and become What we are now. I'm curious.

Its ok up to half way, then it loses its meter at 'old and grey' and nothing really happens

this has a nice start, but ye gods! all the extra words!

can glean away some of the little words, to make it cut with a sharper edge?

and, the ending feels like a bit of a cop-out after that details you gave at first.

this has a lot of potential, especially since you have grasped the idea that specific details make a poem real.
