Catharsis

I feel it Shifting within me Wandering in open space A gypsy striving to get From place to place Whether it slithers So slowly At a snail’s pace Or simmers in an Utterly poignant disgrace I feel it Gliding amidst my organs Making my heart race Venturing forward As if on a wild, stormy Chase In search of an exit Burning its trace Through my every sense I therefore rest my case And simply write it Down

I love the verse ..yet the last few lines caused me pause. The "muse" which brings us such lovely meaning full verse can not be bad? yet occasionally it does feel like possesion LOL. Light & Love

I like how you used all the s verbs in the first stanza--interesting way to capture the reader's attention. The unique perspective kept my attention. I really like the ending. Glad to have you back at The Soup posting your poetry. Keep up the good writing. Thank you for your kind comment. Karen
