Hello all. This is my first post on this forum. I have 14 posts to go before I can share one of my poems.
For me the poem works well as metered verse, but I'm not finding a lot of lyricism in it. (I tend to use the words "lyrical" and "lyricism" to mean "pretty" or "poetic", but the dictionary's definitions tell me I'm putting too much meaning in those words.) I guess what I'm saying is that the poem is very explicit. It says what it says without any clever twists that I usually think of as poetic.
I've written similar poems. Some truth would be knocking around in my mind and I just had to get it on paper, and saying it outright seemed the easiest way.
"Love is limitation" -- I like that. I once wrote in a poem "the moment we find love is the moment we lose it". I suspect we are getting at the same thing.
