11/13/2005: I see you, and I Smile

This poem is loving dedicated to Marie Webb. There was once a time, that when I felt I had reached the bottom, the merely seeing the person this poem is dedicated would not only lift me out of it, it made me soar.





I’m down in the dumps,
Tired and hurting,
But, I see you
And I smile
Just to see you smile back

I’m on the go
Busier than I’d like to be
But, I see you
And I smile
Just to see you smile back

I’ve got no reason to be happy
Nothing worth smiling about
But, I see you
And I smile
Just to see you smile back

Your smile makes my heart sing
It makes the pains go away
Makes things feel like there standing still
So every time I see you
I smile, because I know you’ll smile back


This poem was written over a year ago. It was sometime after Marie and I decided to date. It expresses how I felt everytime I saw her, how it made my heart and soul soar. I truely miss that feeling, although when I happen by photo of her and the memories fill me, even through the saddiness they bring I still find myself smiling just a little. I dedicate this poem to Marie Webb, because it was written for her, and I would feel shame in attempting to attach it to anyone else.

That's a very descriptive comment Brendon, I do appreciate it. Would you be kind enough to elaborate a little as to why you think this poem is good.

Thanks,

Jonathan

I liked the format, the rhythm scheme, and the flow of thought. The organization of the sentences and meaning within them worked well in the poem. I'm not a fan of poems that don't rhyme (what a stupidly spelled word, "rhyme") but this actually works well.

The change of verse at the very end finalizes the poem. It was well done, whether or not it was done somewhat in-the-moment or not. So basically, "This is good."

P.S. - My site's down, my host's site is down (http://www.strkehosting.com) with an interesting message. I can't check whether I have the comment bug or not as well.

Thanks for posting with more information. The suprising thing about this poem, was I didn't really try to make it ryhme. I was more looking at how it flowed, I'm usually pretty bad at ryhming. I'd have to say this is probably my best about at ryhming and I wasn't really trying for it. Personally, I think the idea that every poem needs to ryhme that they seem to insist on in high school really took away my desire to try and ryhme. Anyways, in the case of this poem, I have to agree you your observations.

hey john i love the way you can express yourself in a way that people can understand. i remember in college you and i were the ones who really only said something when around close friends or when asked . u always seemed quiet. i love the poems you write because it's a part of you not everyone gets to see and i really hope you carry on with this art. also i agree with brendon awesome layout.
P.S how do i know if i am accepting cookies from this site for the caffeinated lifestyle site?

Hi Jonathan,
I really liked the poem. I'm sure wome other people can relate and don't think that poetry always has to rhyme. Sometimes the words are heartfelt and there may be others that can relate to that. I related because it reminded me of how I feel when I see my husband even after 16 years. Keep up the good work.
