Dust If You Must By Rose Milligan – Pick Me Up Poetry

Dust If You Must’ by Rose Milligan contains four stanzas and each stanza of the poem has four lines in it. The poet uses a regular rhyme scheme in the poem and the rhyme scheme is AABB. It goes on like this in the following stanzas. The compact rhyming pattern of the poem makes the lines more coherent. As an example, in the first stanza, “better” and “letter” rhyme together. In the last two lines, “seed” and “need” rhyme together. The rhyming lines of this stanza present two different ideas but the poet relates them by connecting the sense of the lines. Simplicity doesn’t fit into their lifestyles at all. It eventually causes one’s inner self to die. The poet refers to them as “dust” because of this. Stanza TwoThroughout the first three paragraphs, she uses the word “dust” in a fun way. And in the last one “dust” represents your final form once you are dead (which sounds a little creepy). Overall, the poem is full of words of wisdom for all people running in the race of life, who have, somehow, forgotten to live. Dust if You Must – Form, Structure, & Meter

This poem makes me ashamed that I haven't done more with my life. Awesomely conceived and brilliantly delivered.
