Poem Commentary

Ummm... It's a metaphor... for snow... I just kind of vomitted it out, because I felt like this snow day deserved a deep poem. I apologize if it makes no sense...

Snowed In

You're heart is like a Snow Day,
An avalanche of guilt,
You smile, you dance, you shake the hands
When it's all just a blanket of silt

A lie, an excuse, a coper
To deal with all that hurt
You laugh to show you're white as snow,
but underneath that is dirt

And what of that of friendship
The coal beats inside your chest
You're crying inside, smiling with pride,
It's obvious you're content with 'depressed.'

The snow flows over in blankets
And hardens in sheets of ice
Calling for help, below the snow shelf
A helpless weeps and cries

So burry out of whiteness,
Of joyfulness and charm,
From beauty and wit, for they don't mean (spit?)
If it's only there to cause some harm

A fraudulent face of familiarity
The sweetness of goodness and nice
So just be your self, go find some help
And actually go break the ice

Please check out my poem Sunshine on a Winter's Day. This poem of yours reminds me of it. Would love to get your critique.

Again, cleverly written. Every one of your poems I've read so far get that same reaction from me. Cool ;-)

This is good! I love the metaphor and the character's "fakeness." Very well done.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
