    Read as, First Attempts at Poetry

    I wanted mother's eyes to shine brighter than any
    saw-toothed coastline, than any Sunday morning
    Hallelujah, or a sunflower bulged to blossom. Wanted
    her hip's rhythm swing in every syllable, stomping
    thunderclaps into wood-slatted boards. Her feet followed
    down the dirt painted path, all the way home. Pieces
    from the hallway picture splintered in knuckles, calloused
    and craggy as his pursed lips railing against the wind
    in his voice’s hoarse box. Wanted shard-teeth gnashed
    with a bitten tongue and silence. I wanted her soft
    voice and his Mack-truck rumble caught in
    my poetry’s slow, blue ring.

    Not really. Save the song
    the sickle sings, we expire the same: lights out.

    You have such an amazing way with words, the first metaphore(saw-toothed coastline) was dope as hell and sucked me into the piece. Every description and reference was filled with emotion and experience. For such a short poem you packed a very powerful punch wich says alot about you as a writer. Picture splintered in knuckles, everything, fucking dope imagery, I really want you to write a longer more topical oriented piece, I want to see more man, great shit and keep writing dude you have a natural talent.
