Carol B. Poet Free verse

Internal Interview

Living amid the blurred lines of my reflections
Stark cold fears snow me blanket my resolve
Nestled my leafless core begging for rebirth

Patches of life clumped to the reality of what is what was
Soul penetrating every doubt of self worth 
Raw exposure of glory days forgone

Dreams engulf the rapture of greener pastures
Revealed in roots embedded firmly in my foundation 
Seeds flourish branches extend and trunks stand firm

Paloma P November 2, 2016 at 11:33 AM Really stellar introspection, second line tripped me up, other than that, the sentiment flourished. Carol B. November 2, 2016 at 12:04 PM Thanks so much for your comment and I appreciate your input :)

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 30, 2016 at 3:59 AM Very strong poem, Carol. Critical self-awareness and introspection. Unwavering in its search for the inner truth. I loved it!

Keith Logan October 15, 2016 at 6:37 AM The first line grabs strongly, the rest of the stanza holds firm to that promise. I'm not quite sure what the latter part of the next line is about, seems clumsily repetitive. Just one man's thought. I very much like the final verse also. Carol B. October 16, 2016 at 1:20 PM Thank you so much for your input much appreciated :)

Casarah Nance October 13, 2016 at 8:20 PM interesting descriptions like roots digging in and branches reaching out, extending and reaching in different directions, the growth comes from the reflections within.
