Words

Words demand be written. Ink begins to flow. Sentences form. Thoughts race. Like raindrops down a window. There's a lake in my mind And it's always raining. Where does the water escape? Where can words go? They flow through my veins, Like blood or poison. They sustain me Destroy me. Can I find a place to rest? Who can save me? Am I redeemable? The words flow to my fingers, Like water through the veins of a rock. I am no longer in control. Sometimes it makes sense. Sometimes I am crazy. Sometimes, the words refuse to fit. They are either territorial or They combine and the sentences form. No matter what, all I know, is that Words demand to be written, Ink begins to flow.

I love this. I omitted "Like raindrops down a window" the second I read it, and it got even stronger. Thank you for sharing. w

Great ending, Brynn, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Dear Reader and fellow Poet, I was attempting to write this poem as a narrative poem, but it feels more free verse to me. What sayeth thou? Positive criticize and feedback are very much appreciated! - BrynnRose
