when I stare at the sky
I wonder if I
see the same stars that you
watch with someone new
I don’t want to think it
but I cannot quit
wishing you would return
I will never learn
you were not good for me
we weren’t meant to be
time to stop holding on
to a love so wrong
staring at the sky though
glued to the window
I see a shooting star
hoping from afar
still wishing through the pane
oh it’s an airplane

I can never find proper ways to comment on poetry… being a poet myself, poems often leave me speechless. 😉

You know, I feel the same way. I have a hard time. It’s frustrating sometimes because I want the writer to know I enjoyed their poem, but I don’t want to just say “I liked it” or “Great job” every time… it starts to sound insincere!
And I love that you’re leaving a comment anyway even without knowing what to say. Which I’m hoping means you enjoyed it. Yeah, I’m going with that! 🙂

May I also “leave a comment without knowing what to say” ? except that I liked it , but “like” seems so poor/short to express how much we liked it ????? 😉 😉
And also I can’t keep repeating myself with “ah! and you were the one who didn’t “do” poetry ? 😉

Lately I’ve been having trouble with a few things I’ve been writing… (non-poetry stuff)… and when that happens, it seems like poetry helps me get through it. I have no idea how that happened… but for now, it’s working. 🙂
Thanks. 🙂

You started from the end??? I do that all the time. Wow. I love to hear how other writers create. Do you do that often??

It just happens sometimes that I think of this great closing line… and then I go backwards to get myself there. It’s happened to me with stories, too. I think I do this a fair amount, but I wish it happened up there in my brain even more often…
I love when the end happens first in my head because I never have to think about where I’m trying to go with a poem or story — much easier to reach your destination if you know where that is! (Although sometimes driving around aimlessly is great too… literally and in my head…)

Bravo. I feel the exact same way. I wrote both of my novels the same way. I thougth os a perfect ending. Formed the beginning and there was my map. Most of my poems are created that way. Thank you so much for sharing that with me. Much appreciated.

My pleasure. I would love to come up with the end first more often. But honestly, with anything other than poetry, I get so caught up in the story, I almost dread the end. I have never been a fan of goodbye…

Love reading your thoughts. No one likes goodbye. With practice, you can do it. I force myself to think on the end first, so it has become easy for me.

Love hearing how you work, too.
Whenever I can come up with the end first, I think my whole piece is better… and easier to write. It’s definitely the way to go, I think!

Yeah, I does make the piece better. Practice and you will see it will become a habit.
