Click hereAnd so I find you again, after so long
How I have missed your touch
The gentle scrape of your caress
I thought you were gone for good
I was unprepared for you to show again
To see your hollowed face
Your voice so low and cracked so sweet
A familiar haven in the cold watches
Whispered promises and threats
Your hand on mine in the dark a relief
Assuring me that blood will follow soon
Oh hatred how I have missed you
I did not study creative writing. I wrote my first poem a few months ago, and I am not young. What I am is saying is, I am no expert. I do not know how other people rate poetry.
If it evokes and emotion, if I like the way it sounds, if I relate, if it makes me think - I seem to enjoy it.
That being said, I do not know how to rate poetry, but I gave this one a five.
Old Friend
The gentle scrape of your caress
Causes much duress
The fate of all our hate
brings us to
an end
Creepier when in rhymes
just sayin'
5ed, I like the structure, some of the words
I liked this because it was surprising. "Gentle scrape" somehow didn't fit the rest of the poem IMO. The next to last stanza was a great lead in to the final line.
