Kim Van Breda Poet Acrostic

Giant Monsters

GIANT MONSTERS

giants wake from their sleep
rolling out of safety's keep

and pain makes them feel 
so alive
they open their eyes
see all wastelands arise

And pain makes them feel
so aware
dancing as flames flare
bright eyes fixed in glare

And pain makes them feel
so free
from all truth they flee
running out to sea

And pain dies with liberating cries

Justin Bordner March 19, 2014 at 8:38 PM Pain has many enriching assests, heightens our senses and consciousness, but it can be a distration from truth as well, make shun joy, Im a damned masochist myself, but I know the power of love to. Great metaphysics in this write. J.A.B.

Cathy Moore March 15, 2014 at 10:47 AM wonderfully penned Kim Kim Van Breda March 15, 2014 at 11:17 AM Thank you Cathy-- one of those 'left of center' poems, but we need them amongst all the romance and roses I guess.

Poet Destroyer A March 13, 2014 at 12:58 AM Hello Kim, a great flow, makes me feel sad for the cries, running from the sea... Linda Kim Van Breda March 15, 2014 at 11:23 AM I actually thought they deserved running into the sea to die, but then again I may be wrong ;) Thank you for your ongoing support and comments.

Louise Holley March 12, 2014 at 5:15 PM and pain makes them feel... I like this so much, nicely done. Kim Van Breda March 15, 2014 at 11:21 AM Thanks Louise for your compliment. This is one of my 'weirder' metaphorical pieces, but a change from all the happy-- light--- romantic perfection I guess.
