This is not a great poem And the title isn't definite but here. pls comment It's Different Here Clouds overhead are floating With a gentle briskness Spots of white in the deep blue As my eyes are peering curiously Deepening red, behind them The sun lights the sky It's so different here Far off in the distance Usually I hear the engines of vehicles And feel the soft breeze of the nights wind While florescent pole lamps run up the road vertically But right here In this scarlet clearness There is such a serene scene From within a grove of trees A softness glows between their leafs And upon gazing upward towards the scattered light The sun shines down through the branches And there are filtered shadows everywhere A soft sigh A heavy moan The sound of a near by stream The water rippling over the small twigs As if in a dream The afternoon rain showers pour down now And it's beginning to get a little chilly I close my eyes as the sun starts setting Beyond the hills you can see it dulling Night is coming quickly The moss is thicker in this gloom To the left the logs look like limbs An outstretched arm, Moving forward, a tree stump Or a severed head? I hear the voices murmur Surely no insect could make that constant scream beginning to shiver, and burning up Sensing movement behind me Eyes are growing heavy The only light now Is that of the moon Shining weakly, projecting reflections I look into the stream While sitting on a log A hand grasp my leg And looking down the face is clear The blood , it's everywhere Thick and corrosive It covers the mossy surface of the wood As if in a nightmare I scream Now I wish it wasn't so different here So that I could hear the engines of vehicles And feel the soft breeze of the nights wind While florescent pole lamps run up the road vertically And surround me with their safety.
Basically I tried to make this poem into a story. At the end, As night completely comes, the person sits on a log and looks into the stream, thinking that they'd see their own reflection but instead they see someone else , a body, a hand grasp their leg, something is wrong there, they scream and wish that they were back to their normal surroundings, were things aren't so different. Thanks for the comments everyone Any suggestions ? hehe
