Mortar.

Post by EvanCervantes » January 1st, 2019, 9:11 am

Everything is
Falling into place.
It might work out
For the best.
Except that,
Well, everything is
Falling.


And we're running
For cover...

Mmh, cryptic but thought-provoking little poem. I wonder what's happening. My interest is piqued.

Clever composed, with feelings that I'm sure we can all relate to; succinctly expressed and much enjoyed.

The word 'might' sure leans more to the half empty scenario...
New years resolutions and positive outlook and all that,
often blow to shreds... :wha:

I like the end I like how it hints at humor. Good reading and find.

Like l.bear, my interest is piqued - sounds a little scifi'ish . . .

Very interesting piece. I love the title and the imagery of falling bricks that may or may not fall into place. Nice write and most deserving of a spotlight. Well done with this.

honesly I love the false confidence of this piece. we are lulled into this sense of security and then bam! everything is not what it seems which is often the case in reality. I feel like this often especially these days. a simple poem but a powerful message
