Linda Alice Fowler Poet Free verse

Follow Me

Follow me.
I am the earth.
I am the rock that grounds you.
I am the support beneath your feet.
I am the force. I have your back.

Follow me.
I am the sea.
I am the beast for your burden.
I am the liquid that intoxicates you.
I am the force. I have your back.

Follow me.
I am the wind.
I am your dreams borne aloft.
I am the bearer of your sorrows.
I am the force. I have your back.

Follow me.
I am the fire.
I am your deepest desire.
I am the heat of love’s heart.
I am the force. I have your back.

Follow me.
I am the spirit.
I am the center.
I am the lullaby of peace.
I am the force. I have your back.

Paul Marc September 11, 2023 at 6:17 PM Every stanza is shaped like a hat and I enjoyed trying them all on for size. The final stanza is my favourite but each has its own flair :) Linda Alice Fowler September 12, 2023 at 9:25 AM Many thanks for trying on my hats and for leaving such a fine comment. :)

Terry Flood September 11, 2023 at 3:39 PM I really, really, really don’t do ‘free verse’ but I love this: quite magnificent, Linda. To echo Tom’s comment… Amen Linda Alice Fowler September 11, 2023 at 5:42 PM I really am not fond of 'free verse' either Terry, but as I was writing this, the shape and repetitions formed in my head and this is what popped out. I appreciate you even reading it with your feelings toward the form. I'm honored by your comments! cheers, mate :)
