    Poem Commentary

    as i sat in the child support office and waited to be called on. a female across the room caught my attention. as i stared, i saw that she was hurting. as i continued to stare...i began to see her pain...

    Have You Ever Seen A Pretty Girl Cry

    have you ever seen a pretty girl cry
    and seen the look in her eyes
    or seen the tears
    mad from frustration and fear
    the extent of her damage inside

    showing this pain that she tries so hard to hide
    your eyes seeing both beauty and despair
    her confused feelings you view so clear
    from first glance and as you stare

    her face still and quiet
    her pain captured and framed
    now an art display depicting sadness
    observed in this modern museum
    in this place we call life
    on this face i saw cry

    I definately feel for this poem. There are so many reasons why women cry, and you capture a few wonderfully. Your structure is something, tho. I like it (: its not what alot of poets would call "real poetry", and I applaude it.

    thanks for reading and thanks even more for the compliments. i was never taught how to write poetry...just started writing so i have no idea how the structure should be put together but im glad that you applaude it. thanx.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
