Melani Udaeta Poet Ottava rima

The Comedown

You sit at the top then turn upside down,
a carnival of unwanted feelings;
So difficult to handle the comedown
stillness is torture so you move around; 
On this ride it’s hard to get your bearings;
Memories follow you from town to town,
water guns and balloons winning prizes;
This constant fresh start just tantalizes.

Ellen Mecca July 19, 2023 at 9:04 AM I like this poem, because it makes me think of the song "Coming Down Again" by the Rolling Stones. It seems to talk about an emotional roller coaster ride with a loved one, and I can relate to that. I like to write about feelings, sometimes that's the only way to sort them out Melani Udaeta July 19, 2023 at 10:24 AM Nailed it. That's exactly what I was writing about. Also same. That is how I work through emotions. Thank you so much.
