Crash
Hear the shattered glass?
Jagged knives
Cascading
To the barren ground.
Crash
Hear that sound?
It never ends;
The pieces scatter,
Hear the clatter.
Crash
Of the piercing glass.
Ripped in two,
The pressure grew.
Crash
Slicing rain.
Try to run,
Nothing gained.
Crash
Fractured art.
Sweep it up-
Where to start?

Crash

Here lies my
Shattered heart.

I have but one word for this work, and that word is AWESOME. You have a very developed rhyme scheme (something I have yet to master) and very clever imagery. Great job.

I love the imagery and rhythm to this poem. You are one of few people that are able to make your poems rhyme without seeming childish...Great Work!

Your such a great writer!  Loved how you asked questions that kept me reading.  Most poets don't take that risk.  Great Job :)
