Wilma Neels Poet Personification

'our Journey'

I know you hate having me around 
I feel your fear, the angst, ‘cause
I am a sign of weakness 
even though I bring hope at times, 
other times a brighter day 
a new perspective on a foggy splay… 

Let me help you get past the hurt, 
Let me help you deal with the loneliness
Take me with you on this journey,
Turn your frown into a smile
As I trickle down your beautiful face
Let me cleanse you and take the pain away… 

Inspired by the contest “Personify A Tear”
by Wilma N. Neels

9th Place

Andrea Dietrich March 31, 2011 at 1:51 PM Excellent way to personify a tear, wilma. I think this one should do splendidly in the contest!

Carolyn Devonshire March 31, 2011 at 11:52 AM You really did give life to this tear in your beautiful poem, Wilma. I think men tend to see tears as a sign of weakness, but I find it very moving when a man is strong enough to show emotion. Releasing the tears does "cleanse" us and helps alleviate some of the pain. Wishing you success in Rick's contest! Love, Carolyn
