Write A Poem About Where And When You Feel Most At Peace 1 years ago
Piece of Mine
To be a piece
To be at peace
Don’t call me on my homophone
It’s likely that I am alone
But is alone, a singular state? Alone because you are unknown? A loan because you want a home?
Peace is often associated with solidarity; something for which we’ve waited
A state sedated, perhaps over rated
Peace for me is found in a crowd
Strangers to surround, ears are filled with the din of a city’s sound
Camouflaged by the anonymity of vicinity to those with whom we share our city
What is my piece?
Where am I at peace? Do we ever really know until we’re deceased?Voting is closed

I loved this, it reminded me of beatnik poetry slams in smoky cafés. Clever use of homophones within your piece. I love your writing style and I hope to see more from you in the future!
