Heh, yeah, I noticed that, but apparently "open" is only one syllable.

The dictionary lists syllables with little ·'s, for example:

psy·cho·log·i·cal (5 syllables)
ca·tas·tro·phe (4 syllables)
com·put·er (3 syllables)
ham·mer (2 syllables)
...and so forth.

It's listing for open:
open (1 syllable)

Thus, it is 7.

Hmm, strange. I never really saw "open" as one syllable though I suppose it could work...those crazy dictionaries...

EDIT: When I looked at dictionary.com they had it listed as "o·pen" as in 2 syllables, so I dunno...

[Kitana85]

It's not that she was miserable,
or dreary everyday,
She did agree with life,
and yearned for it to stay,
yet all she really wanted was
to fly away.

In life she held the principals
the virtues of the day
she followed all directions,
and seldom did delay
but all she really wanted
was to fly away.

Away from all the troubles
That live around the block
Away from the door of time
Upon which fears that seemed to knock
It's not as if she feared another day
But all she really wanted
was to fly away.

Away from "I'm not good enough"
Away from "something more"
Away from "Can you help me,”
and an ever whispering roar,
Away from all the requests, she felt she must obey
Yes, all she really wanted
was to fly away.

To leave an open window
And open wide her wings
To stretch them to forever
And see what yonder brings
To see the stars in all their bright array
Indeed all she truly wanted
was to fly away.

To soar with the birds
And dive through the clouds
to feel silence and solace
above all the crowds
to feel the sun's life-giving, golden ray
To feel the beauty,
to simply fly away.

It was her soul's desire,
to be herself one day,
to be her only master
to do things her way
she needed her own person
to discover who she was
to have herself come first
away from all else, above
above all the confusion
above the rattles of the day
what she needed most
was to fly away.

No one understood,
or thought of what SHE had to say
until they looked around
and found she had flown away.

She flew where ere the wind took her,
Where she hoped she could find peace
She flew where she felt happy
Where she could find release
She never knew that she could feel this way
Until the day
She stretched her wings
and flew away.

Fragments of closure
Bleeding blue
The color of my soul
I was painted when you left
Screaming black
The color of the world
The life sucked dry – my vampire -
Gray cloud death
Your vanishing feelings
Unforgetting rainy day
Nothing left
The story of my life
Pick up the pieces again
Moving on
My closure complete now
The need for you – memory

Goodbye.

I wrote this as I was typing (freestyle), so it's pretty fragmented (hence the title). But I decided to keep it anyway. I guess it kind of... well... signifies my closure. Since you obviously couldn't guess that.... Not at all...

Good poem, mariolover.

Amen.

[Vampyr]

As I was going up the stairs,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish I wish he'd go away.

Thats cool. Im going to memorize that one.
