Let Them Fly

My head, now a boiling cauldron From my pen, thoughts bleed red, in a broken stream muddled up They do not have a neat flow They come out in squirts, leaving scarlet stains, a monochrome of blotches of hurt and sadness Still I feel such instant relief, as the latch of a cage being unfastened to let out the birds of pain fly far

We poets. Such kindred spirits dear Valsa. Your poem speaks so passionately of the flow of words and poems and ideas! Letting them fly is a great release. This is a great poem <3 ~BJ

All emotions or feelings, regardless of their negative ferocity, by being able to express and release them from within the mind, frees the body and soul from agony. Intensely beautiful Valsa!...ab

Great imagery and indeed catharsis is in the heartbroken pen.

Modern technology transmits information too fast for an old mind to consider it, so confusion is rampant! Enjoyed!

Wonderful imagery! Yes, indeed...the act of writing in itself, is a fond mystery. Sort of like breathing in and out. Best of luck in contest. Joe.
