I have the words they are always swirling in my head but right at this moment I cannot catch one not a single lovely word they are playing a game with me a game of hide and seek I am lost in a sea of words, words, words those words that can be so beautiful or weapons words that have left scars on my poetry dreamy sweet words of love my heart is swelling with tears sometimes my words just come unbidden and drip from my pen like a flowing river but when under fire I am word tied my mind is holding on oh do give me words for a deep blue sky or lush emerald forest let go of my words and let them flow, flow, flow _____________________ October 4, 2018 Poetry/Free Verse/Under Fire To Create Copyright Protected, ID 18-1068-031-01 All Rights Reserved.

Oh, I know that feeling so well. Like a blocked faucet and than it explodes. Well written, Kai

I loved the concept of the words perpetually swirling, and playing hide and seek with you! Thank you for entering my contest. It was so difficult, but my favorites ran right to the top, of course.
