Poem Commentary

I like poems to be completely open to interpretation so please please please make this out to mean whatever you think fits best. that being said I also like getting some background on poems after reading them. This piece came about as a result of some aprehension I was feeling about leaving for college this coming fall and moving all the way across the country from Oregon to North Carolina.

The Line

The Line

there's still a
line drawn in the
sand which reads once
you leave you can never
come home again not to
the same home nestled
in comfort. there's
still a line drawn
in the sand you
left it in the wet
to dry, to dry and
dare you to cross it
I crossed once in the
early summer only to find
the grass to be browner on
the other side. Now after
six years of trying to
return, I am packing
my bags to cross the
line again, to lose
another home and
hope to gain one
in the process
there is a
line drawn
in the
sand

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
