Poem Commentary

war and peace, loss so much loss

Waterless Rain

He steps through a sheer shimmering curtain
Aspace void of life
A stage is set for tragedy
Dark yet luminous
Emotions spent before all that is
All that was
Ill to compromise
These our ever changing times
A clock somewhere ticks
A cathedral bell chimes
Then an explosion
Doves and tears colide
All that one asks
Is why

Your poem evoked potent imagery. I did not understand why you misspelled sheer and shimmering. Typo?

typo and thanks for the comment

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

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