THE OUTER LIMITS

Embedded image from another site

Falling fast through a tunnel in space
Spinning and falling picking up the pace
Only darkness – no light along the way
Am I stuck in this black nothing to stay

Suddenly slowing down bit by bit
Peering out - multiple stars lit
Then again spinning and twirling away
Continuing on – no night or day

Finally reaching the outer limits of time
Floating there wondering in my mind
How to return where I came from
Earth - the third planet from the Sun

What is beyond the outer edge of space
Wondering why I was sent to this place
Uncomfortable with being here not knowing
What is beyond and where am I going

There was nothing wrong with the first one, and this says the message just as well, maybe sensitivity played a part here, but you cannot dislike a poem Kathy if you dont read it.

Please dont criticise if you are not capable of writing anything decent yourself, you know who you are!!, all literary critics are failed authors or poets.

Don't worry about anyone rubbishing your writing, Kathy. Write to please yourself first...bouquet

Best wishes to you
Dont let anyone
Brow beat you
In invisible ink
Guilty on your forehead
For u r not
U know it
God knows it

All will be well
All must be well
All is well

Your dominion is yours
Not that of the complainer
They r out of line it appears
Peace be unto you

We should always acknowledge constructive criticism. It allows for improvements.

Sometime I wish I can float to outer space like your poem describes. wave

I don't get too many trolls on here, so I like that a lot. Critics are sometimes helpful, but mostly hurtful, I guess my opinion is if I want your help, I'll ask for it.hug

Thank you Rob and LCBR.

Amicable - I don't mind helpful suggestions given kindly. However, I was told my rhythm was off after the 2nd stanza and the poem then lost all it's meaning. Then on another poem I was told to change a word and then it would be correct. However, the changed word would have changed the whole meaning of my poem. But enough complaining. There are no comments yet about the poem above which I assume I failed at again. Thanks everyone for your kind support.

Thanks Mc and LCBR - I only write for enjoyment and release when I get frustrated. So I'm not perfect. No one is. Yes Mc there are trolls that go through once in a while and there is one prowling here lately and appears one poet may be heading for a crash landing.

Thank you Lily - I have to control these knee reactions when I get negative feedback and just ignore. Will try from now on.

Thank you Travis - Prince of Cats. If someone has a bad poem on here I don't remark on it at all. I try to be respective of others feelings. However, they do have a right to be on here. BUT wish they would be sure it is a poem and not a lot of gibberish and rambling just to get attention. I feel the Blog would be a better place for those craving lots of attention and lots of room to ramble.

Kathy hug
