It was rather that being unable to find joy in the world through the weather despite how beautiful or comforting it is, and the speaker is just dismissing engaging amd finding that joy quickly. I had the idea of putting the quotations on the last line already but im not sure if it was too direct. I thought the repitition was enough but apparantly not. Do you think there are other ways to make this clearer and what makes the "do i matter" stand out more than my intended outcome? Though on the other hand i like the openess of it too...(02-25-2026, 12:02 AM)wizzpower Wrote:Now I'm getting a clear feeling of "The world goes on without me, do I matter?"
Just a lil short poem that i wrote to test the waters of this forum
I have written some poems already but id just like to post smth simple first
Silver lining
today is a cloudy day
the sun is obscured
the world is tinted gray
but i stay inside anyways
the stars are covered
dimming the night sky
but i was sleeping anyways
:edit: pretty new to this so messed up abit of formatting
I tired improving it. hopefully its better
Silver Lining
yesterday was a sunny day
the sky was void of clouds
sunbeams flooding the nearby fields
but i was going home anyways
today was a cloudy day
cool crisp air like a blanket
the world was tinted grey
but i was staying inside anyways
tonight is a rainy night
dripping clouds dissolve
unveiling the sparkling stars
tucked in my sheets
tossing and turning
"but i was sleeping anyways"
The language is lovely, "dripping clouds dissolve"
Also, it's okay to bump a thread to announce a new edit if you are looking for addition crit.
