    The Whispered Notions of the Faint

    We shall not cease to be
    among the rows and columns
    split by the idle river
    pushed by the thunder of human currents
    alone in death we march to the banks
    with the withered eye spectacles of fiery youth
    In their eyes I see
    bubbling laugh ocean swim pools
    of delicious raindrop petals
    until the insects of summer
    slice through the air like chainsaws
    buzzing and twirling
    and the people dripped in shadow
    spread out like ink on paper
    across the horizon
    diappear into the red dust sunset
    as the solemn birds flap about
    the silent whispers will cease
    and the weak bones of death
    will be carried to the lonesome shore

    let me know what you think

    Very nice images, very vivid. It also has a thread of meaning which is woven through it nicely. I guess my suggestion would be to work more toward having the images be secondary to the meaning so that they directly support the meaning of the poem. Nice job, though, a good read.
