Got dumped?

On a blowy weather, my friend came to me with an dark look on his face, and told me that he just got dumped by a girl, that he loved the most for several years.

And he showed me few of his poems that he just wrote it by himself, as an aftereffect of that incident.

This is my personal approach of ranking poems, that metaphors should be used wisely and there should be a similar soundings between the stanzas. I am not sure what to call them in English language, anyways, I didn't like his poems very much, because they seem to me as I am reading a paragraph, not a poem. I said, I don't like it, at least the words at the end should sound alike. He said, like how?

And I thought for sometime, and then wrote these poems, this was my first time to write a poem in English.
Here goes.


Reflecting myself in the water splash,
Reminding me that I am nothing but mess.

She got into me as a raid,
Soon nothing left but betrayed.

Blossoms flew away with blizzard,
I wish nothing but I was a wizard,
That could fly me away like a bird,
From sorrows that made me nerd.


I just tried to teach him how to start. But then I was involved in composing few other poems for myself, as in college I had nothing else to do, during boring classes and free time.

And then I started adding poems to English essays, that really bought me brilliant marks.

Being a poet isn't a bad thing, it offers you 10/10 marks :D
Of course, that's not why I write poems, but because I really want to

Your comments are appreciated. Thank you :)

Your poem rocked! I could hardly believe it was your first time writing an English poem or so you claim.

Thanks Zahra Roshan!

Yes, that's my first time to compose a poem in English.
As you might have noticed, my vocabulary is very weak, and the words used in the poems are very common, and simpler.

I try to put these simple words, and jumble them, to get a complex meaning. Makes sense?

Metaphors are my favourite :)

If you read it from top to bottom, it says, "(friend)he just got dumped by a girl"

@suzsnooze:
Thanks for writing, yeah I know how it feels when somebody gets dumped by someone very special, my friend was barely crying.
I could look into his eyes, how much pain he has took, so at the time of writing, I was considering myself as him. He used to tell me about her and praise her before he was dumped.
