Tape And Glue Comments

Rating: 3.8

By a bit of tape and glue.
It can't handle being shattered again;
Keep it safe and hold it close,

One impulse I feel when reading a poem which I wish to re-read some time later, is that poetry allows us to explore our innate aptitude to find parallels, similitude, metaphors and inter-connections in the world and life. (In 'Hamlet', the protagonist (who has psychic problems we may recognize) twits Polonius the courtier who agrees with the young Prince that a cloud is shaped like a camel, a weasel and a whale. (Act 3, Scene 2) . So 'tape and Glue' to mend a broken heart can pass perusal, if not conviction: be literary, not literal. So poetry transforms a romantic, sentiment or convention into something else, intangible, but not inaccessible to the imagination. Make them think anew. AM

Not bad, the theme is well worked at, the idea itself not new, and perhaps the central metaphor tires towards the end, but a poem that will be liked

Now this one had a emo-love genre/theme that makes sense. keep it up with other genre/theme's such as horror or comedy or any of them :)

I read this after reading Wind and the Winds and I think this is a thousand times better; you threw away the baggage of trying to sound like somebody else, and seem to have a voice that is more acclimated to yourself and makes you unique. The tape and glue fell away As you took their place in Piecing it together and repairing my wounds With your tender love that fills The once gaping, hollow spaces where Missing components were never regained And the cracks that were forged See this is what’s great, fantastic use of similes and alliterations which don’t sound hackneyed from other works, this is all you and that is why I think it is really great.

Im not sure what to think, I had to read it a few times to understand, normally when I do read it just jumps at me, how people write I mean, this is good, it expresses how you feel with every line, just needs to flow together, but I still think you are a brillant poet for one so young I mean the first one I read just blew me away. Actually made my mouth dropp with a gaping look of wonder...smiles...anyway keep up the writes my friend...hope we are if you want you can leave comments on mine as well would love to see what you think.

Beautiful simplicity. I like the story behind it; one person can come into your life and just make everything better.

to put it simple the poem feels as if you started off writing about something and then drifted into writing about something else and ruins the mood, but i guess it was an okay poem. sorry

I'm curious about the punctuation in this poem. It reads like a long drawn out sentence and left be needing air.

When our walls break down and crumble away reseal them and make them stronger it is the only thing that keeps our judgment right instead of wrong. Very well written and people can always relate to these feelings. Keep up the good work good job.
