    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this for my Junior English class while we were reading The Scarlett Letter.

    Untitled 2

    As I walk across this virgin soil,
    I sense their presence near.
    Iron spikes
    and timbered oak
    hold these condemed criminals.

    As I gaze at my surroundings,
    I see the precious gems
    painted against a green canvas,
    It is the only color that surrounds
    this black flower of society.

    I delecatly pluck a precious gem
    from its home upon the bush.
    This single gem is said
    to bring these prisoners
    a sense of fragile beauty.

    These iron spikes
    and timbered oak
    feel cold beneath my hands.
    As I open the door, I can feel them-
    these condemed criminals.

    wow. this poem possesses some unique qualities. i cannot explain the emotins i feel here...butover all acceptance is predominent. good work. to express yourself the way that you do is a special gift.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
