To Fill a Hole (poem) -
June 28th 2013, 12:37 AM
To fill a hole it take a shovel and some dirt,
One shovel and some dirt,
and maybe hurt.
The hurt alone will do
If the hole is you.
So this is basically the same rhyme scheme and syllable structure Emily Dickinson uses in her poem "To make a prarie." Mine is a metaphor saying we often cope with our problems in a negative manner, then tell ourselves we're okay, and that the problem has been solved. Spoiler Alert: it hasn't!
"My heart is warm with friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing;
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going."
- Edna St. Vincent Millay
