Darren White Poet Free verse

Forced Change

     Shivers sent up spine.

Book, read a thousand times 
thundered through deaf ears.

     Whip's swoosh sings in harmony.

Words break through foam
waves crash, sentences press
imprints in wrinkled
blood soaked flesh.

     Change will be forced upon us.

Lisa Ricci June 12, 2017 at 12:06 PM Hello Penguin. Don't get me started on forced change (lol). I will give you an earful and take up your entire page (another lol). This entry is brilliant and is so you. It has the Darren White signature attached. Honestly. Well done entirely and completely. Have a wonderful night Penguin. Darren White June 12, 2017 at 12:40 PM Forced change... don't we know it :) Thanks my friend!

Tim Smith June 10, 2017 at 11:41 AM I have a feeling this is about the book you were telling me about....an amazing poem my friend. Darren White June 10, 2017 at 11:58 AM Thanks :) Any book with a message that can be misinterpreted really...

Eye Truth-Teller June 10, 2017 at 10:47 AM never force change. Eye read you loud and clear. Darren White June 10, 2017 at 10:50 AM Eye agree ;)

Jean Murray June 10, 2017 at 7:57 AM Shiver me timbers Darren, that's a good Poem. Darren White June 10, 2017 at 8:46 AM I like that reply Jean

Sara Ella June 10, 2017 at 4:21 AM The grim topic of being forced is well written here. I think your use of italics for movement is perfect and the use of waves an excellent suggestion of what is happening. This is a very intense, very good poem! Hugs to you, my friend <3 Darren White June 10, 2017 at 4:24 AM It speaks in metaphors only, so if you understand what it is about, that is a compliment to me :) Thank you <3
