Heart of Rust

HEART OF RUST Today is another day. My heart is turning brownish-red. I walked away with nothing to say. My words are now all rusted. Without regretting yesterday. I hide behind the face of the dead. My world has turn upside down. Suddenly my body is heartless. My memories drip like water into the ground. My blood swirls making my veins useless. The stale oxygen leaves my body with no sound. Pouring rain decaying my stubborn heart's illness. Living in a forever color of dusk to dawn. My heart continues the cascade with dust.. Reversing the feelings wishing they where gone. I'm lost in this sickness, of no trust Storing my heart in a forever pawn. In hopes that no one ever removes the rust. By; p.d... .p.s., I know these poem does not follow the rules... Lol..but I had an old rusted poem..laying around....

I love your rhyming poems, Linda, they are such a pleasure to read. This one does not follow a path it creates it's own path with no exit. Very well written, my friend.... Robert.

Linda This is an emotionally dark and turmoil poem. You took the reader into your soul and heart and on a journey of despair and pain. nice job Thanks for the great comment on my Devilish Demons poem. Glad you enjoyed it and could relate ( in a good way )

PD. If I remember correctly, Soup made it impossible for us to post pictures under our poems any more. I don't know how to do it anyway but a student helped me last year and then Soup took it away. I just saw your cute poetry contest and it sounded like you wanted our pictures shown with the poem. WE don't have to do that, do we? Please let me know. Luv, Andrea

Hi P.D.! Thanks for your always inspirational comments on my poems. So good to hear from you. Hope today that the rust no more decays and the dust fades. So true for my own thoughts today! Saw a Saint Patty's Day parade and got some mardi graw beads in Atlanta. So refreshing here this time of year! Take Care! Hugs, Susan

Hey PD, Miss your words... So much pain in this one. To trust is the most difficult thing to do when you've been hurt before. Before you know it your emotions do feel like rust. I can totally relate. Great write... Luv Lay

Hi PD! Enjoyed this piece, but be mindful of over-using the same word too often. Too many poems are spoilt by superfluous words: My world has turn upside down, Suddenly the body is heartless. Memories drip like water to the ground, Blood swirls making my veins useless. The stale oxygen leaves my body with no sound. Pouring rain decaying my stubborn heart's illness. Many thanks for sharing.

Great imagery and allusion happening here, p.d. As so you are not truly a 'poet destroyer', I'm also sure that your heart is true and strong. Great piece, but now I feel sad.:) Best to you and yours, Mikki

p.d. thanks for reading my poem. As per your question...the form is Rispetto which has two sets of rhymes: ababcc. Hope that helps. Oh! and each line should have 11 syllables (mine has thirteen). Julie
