The Others May Go
The paths all maunder
In herds of the crowds and in flocks such as these
Some aimlessly saunter
For long! So far! As far’s the eye sees
One notices certainly And I’m not one to say
The vestiges left by the passerby
They stretch ‘fore the eye all the way, all the way
The hooves in the sand- they’re remembered by
Afore them’s the trace of some elder- for sure
Had traipsed down this trail- a century ago
The people; their path is depicted before
And all that is left is for them to just -go!
I roam and I rove - on other a way
One doesn’t see steps- I fail to imprint
What’s worse is before me- no men could betray
Not centuries nor eons had given a hint
The others may go- their past is perceived
The elders; their wise have them mirthful received
The others may go- I’m not one to fare
Nor by warmth, nor by old - I am guided nowhere...
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction):
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?
