Maze

Stress sizzles at the bottom of my brain Twisting cyclones lashing tongue-tied migraines Bubbles trapped by broken, acidic air Garden of corrosive roses' despair Dark swords piercing aura's fragility Turning sunlight into adversity Until angels of amnesty bypass Sinuous paths; breaking a wall of glass Into a puzzle, relinquished by the steam Of a sage maze, lost within a downy dream. 6/27/20 For 'Maze - 10 Word Challenge' contest Sponsor: A Dear Heart Required words: garden, maze, paths, sinuous, turning, trapped, puzzle, twisting, lost, wall.

Michelle, this poem traverses some dark paths of pain (migraines), sadness (corrosive roses' despair), maybe even depression (dark swords piercing). It seems to come to a more hope filled end as angels of amnesty arrive and the oppression dissolves at the end of a dream. Some wonderful, concise writing, and making the 10 words flow naturally as the tale unfolds. Awesome poetry, I expect this will do very well ~ John

Well done, Michelle! Your words describe the suffering perfectly. I suffer from chronic migraines and have some symptoms even on good days. Botox helped for a long time but is no longer as effective. I hope you are able to get relief from treatment better than I am. GL in the contest. Blessings, Rhonda xx
