This is a little work of mine = not really rhyming like a poem, too short and choppy for prose, just some randomn style.

I like experimenting with styles. How do you like it?

“dying dreams”

Growin up,
had a dream,
wanted life to
be a stream,
flowin down,
peace is king
no surprise,
paradise.

lifes surprises,
sometimes bad,
sometimes happy,
sometimes sad.
keep on livin,
not a dream
life is hard,
but keep livin.

had a friend,
we were young,
she was cute,
I’m in love.
we grew up,
she’s in trouble;
she can’t see,
I’m fuzzy.

she was startled,
started shaking.
fell down hurt,
her life changed.
doctor said it
was a seizure,
She was blind,
there was no cure.

I didn’t see
what this meant,
still thought we
had a future
I loved her,
she loved me,
theres no problem.
It’s all good.

I can cook,
I can clean,
I can do what
she’d have to.
I can take
care of her,
I know she’d
love me back.

she was sad,
can’t talk right,
can’t walk right,
can’t see right,
she loves me,
it’s all right,
we’ll figure,
something out.

she’s thirteen,
stays in bed,
has wheelchair,
can’t sleep.
I am twelve,
feel so sad,
dreams dying,
tear me inside

she’s thirteen,
and one day,
she asleep,
can’t wake up.
her hands; they
feel so cold,
her eyes have
closed forever.

my dreams,
my heart,
my life, my all
Are dead
with her
why continue?
Why keep dreaming?

lifes surprises,
sometimes bad,
sometimes happy,
sometimes sad.
keep on livin,
not a dream
life is hard,
gotta keep livin.

The uniqueness of your style adds to what the poem is communicating.

Wow that is an incredibly sad poem. I love the writing style though. You seem to have real talent.

Thanks guys. I like it, and maybe I’ll try the style some more times.

It sounds like rap, if you read it out loud. I didn’t mean for it to sound like that, but It can be pretty much ‘transposed’ to sound like whatever you want it to be.

Maybe I should compose music for my poems.

Now thats a thought!
