I have 1 poem here and I need you opinion on what the poems means. Please help me!
What Does The Poem Mean To You!
There are
No clocks on the wall,
And no time,
No shadows that move
From dawn to dusk
Across the floor.
There is neither light
Nor dark
Outside the door.
There is no door!

Re: Poem Meaning
Emptyness. Lost in a box. Anxiety. Since there's basically plain walls and no door, it represents a box filled with anxiety, to me.
Hope that helped.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Re: Poem Meaning
About the only thing that I can get out of that is lost. Lost track of time, lost their way, lost their meaning to live, like an empty void.

Re: Poem Meaning
The best thing I ever learnt about interpreting poems is to state what you think and back it up clearly.
Eg: "There is no door!" - Signifies feeling trapped etc.
Give evidence to prove your point, and away you go. There is never a right or wrong - each person interprets things differently.
I'm tired, sorry if this didn't make sense.

Re: Poem Meaning
Being trapped (perhaps more emotionally than anything else) by something larger - something you cannot control.

The tragedy is the ignorance behind the clean casket
On the outside, they look so good
They're walking to Wallstreet in a straightjacket...

I thought of loss of control and loss of meaning of time etc. Stuff to do with anxiety, depression etc.
The exclamation with 'There is no door!' sounds like anxiety, and like it has just made them realise that there is'nt a door at all as they mention something being outside the door and then they realise that there is no door.
The stuff about no clocks on the wall, no time, no shadows etc give me the impression that there is no sense of time and for some reason, that with me gives me the impression of depression.lol.
Whenever you make a point hun, always give evidence to back it up, like a quote from the poem. I hope I've helped somehow hun.

Now you'll find with everything you lose
Your path clears with everything you choose
