Silver Lining

Kaytee

Every cloud has a silver lining
Every devil a silver tongue
Which silver is better
Or worse
Lovers paint words gold
Hoping to seduce
Alchemize
Hypnotize
Drunk on your lies
I rationalize
Synthesize
Forming a solution
that is no longer me
but you and I mixed
Suspended in time
I must let you evaporate
to see the residue
Crystalize
Realize
I am, silver, shimmery
Without the devil’s lies

About this poem

Another prompt I used from www.oblique-strategies.com This one was to use cliché. I chose "Every cloud has a silver lining." Maybe this one has too much cliché and metaphor. Oh well, it's a gloomy day meant for muddled thoughts and not making any sense :)

    Yes!!! Absolutely LOVE this one. I was reading it almost like a rap tune. That's how it reads with the rhythmic rhyming. The top portion is really cool because it eases you right into the bottom portion with the rhyming. Great job, LL Cool K.

    This poem has a beautiful and thought-provoking theme of finding the silver lining in challenging situations and recognizing the beauty within oneself. The imagery and word choice are impactful and help convey the emotions behind the message.

    One improvement suggestion could be to work on the flow and structure of the poem to enhance its readability. Consider tweaking the rhythm and organization of the lines to create a more cohesive and engaging piece. Additionally, expanding on some of the ideas presented could provide even more depth and richness to the overall message. Overall, this poem has great potential and with a bit of fine-tuning, it could truly shine. Great job!
