Lying in the field
of a dismal place
the damp earth
surrounding

The heightening grasses
stretch and curl
encasing your body
against the ground

Gazing high
dim glows of the horizon
bending outwards
dispersed across a canvas

Busts of hope
flash by fast
the excitement settles
return to the floor

Certificate PG
Poem
Autobiography

There is a lot of inner movement in this. It is good but the actual symbolism I didn't understand- I am ignorant. pia xx

Thank you, Pia. The inner symbolism is interpreted in many different ways by different people. It's just the feel you get from the poem. Personally I like this poem because depending on my response to it, I can judge if I'm in a happy or a sad place, at the time. I did have an original 'storyline' to the poem, but I think it's irrelevant and might ruin the fun of people finding their own interpretations :). Sophie
