Suzanne Delaney Poet Free verse

Stars Splash

The sea had climbed the mountain peaks,
And shouted to the stars
To come to play: and down they came
Splashing in happy wars.
Gilbert Chesterton 

Stars Splash

Fire and water 
cancel one another
And I am flesh in
the splash of elements
not worn down by centuries
but able to soar the stars

Earth and wind will 
claim me
Scatter me on the sea
dying for a war
cell by cell
When all that is gone
battle by battle
Then will I be free?

Where seas, fountain
once more, through
a rain of stars.

 Suzanne Delaney

Christine Phillips October 12, 2013 at 9:44 AM Hi Su I like the use of figurative language in your poem. It is as if the sea and water and all the elements mentioned in this piece take on a complete human form. A very nice poem.

Andrea Dietrich October 9, 2013 at 1:39 AM such creative energy in this one, seetie. You always come up with such interesting topics and figurative language.

Demetrios Trifiatis October 8, 2013 at 5:03 AM Yes, Suz-D, Earth and wind will claim you for they have created you but there is something more superior in you that no element can take it away: YOUR SOUL! Yes, free will you be once every cell of yours dies away BUT alive you will remain! Thoughtful and thought-provoking poem! Thank you!
