Poem
She kept TELLING, YELLING at me, to GO with the FLOW, to write with a GLOW. How? My mind feels too SLOW to capture the UNDERTOW! I try rising to the SURFACE with my VERSES. yet I wander from PURPOSE, bam the bottom or a boat. Feeling like a dazed PORPOISE, stranded and stunned! Desiring the protection, of a TORTOISE shell Underwater there's no way to YELL for help My voice muted like broken BELL not able to sing Vocal chords locked by an ancient SPELL A mind cracked and confused With a story to TELL Up was up until it FELL Wanting to THRIVE, a member of a pod or HIVE With words I feel ALIVE In unison I FLY and DIVE through liquid space Not noticing the warning SIGNS up ahead My words are more than nursery RHYMES The arbrators of more and lesser TIMES multiplied by NINES Here swimming within discarded LINES They are articulations born to be, stringed together. With each one I arrive at the end of myself My BEGINNING is my ENDING within this ocean TRANSCENDING Words CURVING and BENDING Temporarily used we are all PRETENDING HOPING LESSENING Afraid of OFFENDING Worried what message we are SENDING Some are gentle others SHARKS Eyes that glow through water like SPARKS Yet some eyes are cold and DARK Destiny of man a cryptic MARK Floated on this water in an ancient Ark So I swim to the SURFACE lifted on my CURSiVE Not wishing to be DIVERSIVE, ELUSIVE or COERSIVE I swim in circles going deeper DOWN If I drink your air I'll surely DROWN Come to my water, filter my SOUND I am your lost and FOUND Feel the Earth's pulse within me POUND Circular in motion my spirit flows Within LIQUIDITY, I am bound yet FREE Tossing and turning it escapes from ME Morphed beyond this endless SEA Water evaporates to become what it must BE Nourishing ground, rain helps form the TREES Carried in sheets upon the BREEZE Sometimes into ice the vapors FREEZE The ground like rock it will APPEASE When in spring like our thoughts it THAWS No longer DAZED or CONFUSED Much more aware just a little BRUISED List of words used in my word play. Telling Yelling Go Flow Glow Slow Undertow Surface Verses Purpose Porpoise Tortoise Yell Bell Spell Tell Fell Thrive Hive Alive Fly Dive Signs Rhymes Times Nines Lines Beginning Ending Transcending Curving Bending Pretending Hoping Lessening Offending Sending Sharks Sparks Bark Mark Ark Surface Cursive Diversive Elusive Coercive Down Drown Sound Found Pound Liquidity Free Me Sea Be Trees Breeze Freeze Appease Thaws Applause Dazed Confused Bruised Sorry Verlena my tablet won't let me access bold or italic. 65 words I cheated two at the beginning and added three at the end.
