So much poetry here and elsewhere goes over this ground - and most of it is, frankly, pretty poor.
That's why when a good one comes along it should be applauded to the skies:

This is not easy and others should take note!
I agree most writing like this is awful; this is really good. It has a great atmosphere about it.
On thing: First line should be 'breathe', I think.

Hurrah...my very first cherry, thanks my grin is now 6 feet wide (and on my daughters birthday too)
Liana is right, I have been working pretty hard at trying to write poetry and the ones on here are my first ever, I also seem to remember some very clever person telling me that the best poems come naturally, it seems she was right...this one was written in about 15 minutes!
*big grin to clever friend (msn still buggered)*
Oh, and you are right Ben there should be an 'E', at last a genuine use for the edit button.
Thanks again
A.
this one is excellent too! Great Writting.

Haha..thanks Soraia, this one has been flagged before (and deleted by Nikaya/Jasper)
Hidden is actually one that I am thinking about reworking as I am not too happy with the second verse.
I am quite amused at how poems appeal differently to people, from the poetry that I have written so far neither of the 2 mentioned on here are my favourite (not even with a cherry), as I feel that 'Blinded by Distance' is my best one, but perhaps that is because it was my first and I have sentimental feelings for it!
Anyway, thanks again
A.
P.s...congrats on your cherries and keep posting those poems as I, and I'm sure many others, am thoroughly enjoying your work.
I like that one too, although not the last sentence. Sorry. Funnly enough I was going to start a new forum topic with "Hidden", but that sort of didn't work and i then realised there was one already here for you!
Thanks for the encouragement and i'm enjoying your work too.
