Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

In the Sway

dependent on your every whim
the yoyo of just a single word

moods that sway in ups and downs
compromising an artificial game 

heart off kilter in the balance
pummelled wobbly dazed and woozy

'the yoyo of every single word' -- Wow! Now that's a memorable image, Line! Better than 'Duncan' did back in the day. ~ Walking the Dog

Sounds like someone's in love with emotions going in all directions. Nicely written. Be well.
