Memory

Raging The sea moves rapidly, My mind does not Move at all, Gray feelers into the fog Through the mist beyond, Dew drops over my hands And onto my cold feet, Nothing equates as much As this view does, I harbor hate For her evil eyes, Piercing through the grey I don’t see anything But her trickery, And the blood rain Falls, Pools of it is near, But not on my dew drenched soul, I scream Loud echoes trouble me And she quibbles She quibbles Russell Sivey

Very good job of creating a powerful emotional statement. The message is clear and truly poetically expressed. This is sensuous, imaginative, thought provoking, descriptive, and creative all rolled up into a beautiful poem. Emile.

gosh this was a very dark poem for the last one you left us here at the year's beginning. Where are you, russell? I was looking at some older poems of a lady named Caryl and saw your remark there on her Halloween poem. It made me think of you . Will you return with Halloween poems again?
