Poem Dark from page 18 of Writing With Scissors

2025/2/20 Edited to

... Read moreThe poem "Poem Dark" highlights the depth of human emotion, intertwining despair with creativity, reflecting influences from poets like Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. Roethlein’s work exemplifies how poetry serves as a conduit for personal expression and societal commentary. In many of his pieces, he merges vivid imagery with poignant themes, allowing readers to connect on a personal level. Moreover, the dialogue between the lines and their meaning invites careful interpretation, urging audiences to delve deeper into their significance. The exploration of darkness in poetry often mirrors the complexities of the human experience, presenting an invaluable opportunity for reflection and understanding. Roethlein's approach encourages readers to embrace the intricacies of life through a poetic lens, transforming the act of reading into an introspective journey. Whether you are a seasoned poetry lover or new to the genre, understanding "Poem Dark" can enhance your appreciation for the power of words.

Original Poem - A Haunting I Know Too Well 🍄‍🟫
This poem is written from the point of view of one of my book characters—Wallace Zagar. Haunted by the voice of someone who broke him, Wallace speaks from beyond the grave, carrying pain that even death couldn’t silence. Sometimes the scars you can’t see are the ones that linger the longest.

I wrote this a while ago. It’s not really a poem as much as it is a journal entry, but I liked it enough to share. Anyway…if you’ve ever dropped / been dropped by a “best friend,” let me know if this is relatable🌞 #writersoflemon8 #authorsoflemon8 #poem #friendship #writing
