Hello Friends.

i didn't want to start writing again, but my hands itched terribly to pour out what was building inside. But still i knew i had grown out of the phase where i could write for endless hours, so i made a deal and settled on this poem.
 
Its inspired by real life. And truly i'm no poet, so i placed all the built up feelings into simple words, words that made sense to me.
 
I was always told a poem didn't have to rhyme but what it had to do was, depict the turmoil inside. So i did, hence i would appriciate it if you would leave your veiws on this little piece of mines.
 
The Cradle...
 
far away, she watched them in her arms, for she had never been there..
 
the whispers told her, she envied them, but her heart subsided the volume
 
smiling, they laughed and clinged on tightly, her heart twisted in awe
 
thoses eyes smothered them with love, and she just sat there quitely gazing at them 
 
far away in the whispers of wants, and needs never belonging..
 
she felt her soul wander off and join them, in the happiness
 
the place she knew was hers, needed to be hers, but it never could
 
for the cradle that rocked them, never held her
 
for the smiles that adorned their face, never wore on hers
 
hope was always there but the light never shone on her
 
she only wished to be held, by the same cradle that held them
 
And one day it would, she was sure...
 
------------------------------------------
Okay if it was bad, you could tell me seriously i 'd love honesty. Rather i admire it so please just tell me...if you could understand what i was trying to portray here.
 
Take care :))

Sanam, 

No, the poem does not necessarily rhyme every time. When I write poems, I tend to be alien-deep, sometimes some people or hardly I, myself am able to really understand what on Earth I have written. This can be a set-down sometimes, often considered a quality. 

'The Cradle' is perfectly understandable but has the same profound touch I am talking bout which lyrical pieces need to keep up with. I do not understand grammar much so I won't put that up, I really like your poem and the use of words up there.

The speaker considers the children in the cradle as enviable, life and people they yearn for have been unjust to em and this you've put up in a majestic manner, rich one, indeed. 

Thanks for the PM.

hey Sanu :)
To me the poem seemed lovely! I'm no kind of judge as my poetry skills range from 0 to 2 in a scale of 100. So, that I cant be. However as a reader I got the feelings behind those words, thats what counts right :) so there! :)
