Kathleen Kroll Poet Free verse

Words

Silvery, slithery words
Where do they come from?
Hidden
In the well’s dankness
Arising willfully
Surprisingly
Unheedful of my reaction
Or yours
Molding the present
Spilling out of my mouth
Announcing themselves to the world
Often without telling me first

John Lawless September 16, 2016 at 8:05 AM Oh yeah, I have many of those "WHO LET THE WORDS OUT!!" moments. Love this one for its honesty and humor. Kathleen Kroll September 16, 2016 at 9:06 AM Thanks, John! It's always good to know that others can connect with the same feelings/thoughts.

Joseph P. DiMino July 30, 2016 at 9:49 AM Not only without telling, but they are living, if not in ours, then, in the next generation for certain. Guard our thoughts and mouths is crucial it ever to be a better world for all. Great poem! Kathleen Kroll July 30, 2016 at 9:57 AM Thank you, Joe. This poem just spilled out. It's often so much better to discover what's in your heart by writing. It offers ops often unfound in conversation.
