On seizure

poem by: Raychill Ellisonwonderland
Written on Dec 10, 2015

How can I handle seeing this most precious body and soul tick with life, 
threatening hour every day.

I don't have the answers to questions unasked
my being craves them.

Like seconds escaping from the hands of time, 
each one closer than the last, 
building on top, tick tock, 
controlled by the unknown before it strikes

and the toll rises.

I love this! Especially I don't have the answers to questions unasked My being craves them The ending is awesome, and when I say the ending I mean the whole third stanza and the very last line. I love the way It builds up. The start is interesting (I mean the very first stanza, the first two lines) and I like it. I would say the first line is too long but it actually gives quite a nice effect. I think I know what you mean in those first two lines. I think I know what you mean through this poem. And I like it. It speaks to me. 'Controlled by the unknown before it strikes and the toll rises.' I don't have anything negative to say!! You're a really good writer. If you want some constructive criticism, call up a poet better than I am, lol.

Kia ora Hunter. I had to look up the meaning of stanza before I summed up the courage to reply. It’s/I'm weird...I post publically but then cringe when people comment haha. But your words help me through feeling embarrassed (as does C Russon and G Brewer). Thank you, thank you thank you.

There's a woman in my lounge that I love deeply. In my lounge is a woman of my womb but she makes my world and she gave birth to me. In my world, There's a woman that lives and yearns for the rush of fresh crisp air when new pe... Read more
