Kevin Fitting Poet Choka

Aspirations

With steam in my eyes,

I strode deftly towards the sun.

"embrace the flames that warm me"

eventually..

to be engulfed is to feel..

burning is acceptable.

With steam in my veins,

I plummet into neglect..

to a more natural plane..

where the sun is gold..

It's glow can never be mine.

I would keep it for myself....

Caroline Cécile Delacroix September 26, 2009 at 7:48 PM Interesting write. I do like the composition of this choka. Since you brought back the first line "With steam in my..." at the 7th, although changing the last word, I would have liked to maybe see it back at the end, also with a different last word. Just my thoughts on this, but I enjoyed the read and the imagery. Thanks for sharing. Caroline.
