good intentions
i see you
on the
street corner
cold and confused
and want to
reach out
a hand
to lift you up
until
that moment
i realise
that to properly do so
i might need
to take
a step down

[…] good intentions – does my desire to help you outweigh my present comfort? […]
wow that’s really good, admittedly it took me more than one reading to get a sense of the deeper meaning.
To be very honest, I was experimenting with shorter forms of poetry just purely because of how hard I found it to write multiple verses that complimented each other and added value with every new line but I’m starting to realise to write good short poems is super difficult too, you did so well!
I love how you have made me really think about the words not on the page/the implications behind the writing 🙂
Spend some time on my friend and mentor Original Dante’s page cos he is incredible at it – puts me to shame – but will give you an idea of what i am going for: https://originaldante.wordpress.com
Thank you so much
love b
ooh, loved that last line which i think is a great summing up of micropoetry
Beautiful piece Brett 🙂 simple but really hard-hitting
Thank you so much. Been fun for me experimenting with shorter poems this year and trying to still pack in the meaning.
