More Than 100 Percent

Driving hard, loving hard, functioning Vicious circle,never ending,grimacing Thin ice, danger lurking, worry One more debt,one too many,interest mounting Work, work incessantly,always worry Can't stop the pain,always sorry Too many hurts to face tomorrow Dawning day just brings sorrow Breaking through sliding under clawing now Kicking hard churning steady just don't drown Face against the ice, one half inch of air Then down again into deep despair Swimming desperately, breaking through Breath of air, lungs burning anew Current is strong, can't stay there Warmth. Peace. Mama. Lifeless Stare. Gwc. 2008

George, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
