Looking for a place to happen,
Making stops along the way- TTH

...
Suffering- the silent, unlocked giant,
And it is this, I'd say, that helps to keep at bay,
the sadness.
And instead, we play, and think of suffering,
Another day.
I just noticed the quote from TTH under your name. Big Fan here!! :D
Is there any paticular reason why you chose to write this poem in four lines of verse but two sentences?
Your use of enjambment is interesting because the third line acts as a definitive; it sums up the complete emotion revealed in your poem. The last line, the only one not broken up, is our solution to that emotion of sadness. I'm not sure as to what you meant by "we play" but what I derived was that the "play" meant keeping ourselves distracted from the suffering and sadness that surrounds us. What this what you meant?
