They’re
hurting me, I need my pills, always,
Help me! So many around, but to them I am futile,
please,
They’re in cold shadows, still ignoring my cries,
falling,
My mistake, the memory is killing me now, forgive,
Looking at the others, I wonder why I don’t just jump,
down,
Pains, they’re so easy to get rid of, my legs, too
young to feel this fragile, these,
A fall I fear, maybe I will roll, maybe I will just
slide, steep,
I feel… I feel empty… something holds me back, weak,
Hollow, I’m bound to fall through if I don’t walk off
now, stairs,
Weakened, where will I land? Impact… I break
everything, knees,
| In the above poem a pattern is
present. If you look closely, on the right side
(last words) it says "Always Falling Down Steep
Stairs" and then "Please Forgive These Weak
Knees". The message in itself contributes to the
poem, and can be seen if you skip a line each
word to combine them for proper syntax. What is
also interesting is these same words can be used
in a pattern to contribute to the actual
sentences already organized in the poem. If you
take the last word on each line and follow this
patter of placement: 2121212 321 by placing the
last word in the 1st 2nd or 3rd word of the
sentence, the poem makes even more sense. Cool
eh? I think so... |
