Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

The Real Deal Not Heel

As the drop of saline slowly rolls
The ragged_ irregular exposed
As the mighty river flows from holes
My heart_ spring flood; since of me disposed

A flood so strong that the levee is broken
A bridge is carried away rushing to the sea
Left dry bed of pebbles_ token
Heart given with love not lessee

Lacrimal gland overworked dear
Red swollen eyes_no great surprise
Constantly shedding a warm pointed tear
Now my heart totally  revise

The tear in my heart slowly heals
No more will I deal with such a heel
On that broken levee are seals
New love happens to be real deal

Andrea Dietrich December 17, 2010 at 4:55 PM Yes, do not have to deal with the heel any longer. Reminds me of "gonna wash that man right out of my life, and send him on his way!" (except the eyes are getting the washing!) Luv, Andrea

Carolyn Devonshire December 14, 2010 at 12:46 PM The tears come most often when new love proves fleeting. I love the way you describe the healing process in your last verse, Sara. Amazing emotion behind this poem! Love, Carolyn

Kabuteng P.Ink K. December 14, 2010 at 9:00 AM Very interesting way of taking on the challenge, Sara-- I liked how you related both definitions of tears-- as for my Grounded poem, yes it can be interpreted by the reader as it seems fit-- I guess that was brought about by how going barefoot (or the simplest things) can make us fell connected to life and God once more... just me tossing thoughts-- how I hope your concerns can be addressed by your urologist--if not, isn't there maybe some alternative solution?
