James Knox Poet Rhyme

You

I was water
I flowed as calm as a breeze
You hampered my flux
Stopped a force of nature dead in its tracks
You brought me to my knees
You swept through my forest
You burned down all of my trees
You did it so naturally
You did it with the slightest of ease

Brandee Augustus July 17, 2009 at 12:47 PM I loved how your fire and water analogy could be about an actual fire that can't be stopped by water or it can be like a relationship between to people. It's sort of sensual and frightening at the same time. I like poems that can get different emotions out of you. Brilliant!

Sara Kendrick July 13, 2009 at 2:40 AM I love your expression here. Writing about anything helps bring release. Whether it is your situation or a situation that a friend has told you about writing helps get solutions or free one from the emotion of the situation. Sara

Oluwaseun Ogunbiyi July 13, 2009 at 2:07 AM unfortunately, this poem exudes a great deal of belated expectation. But at least writing provides half of the solution, it helps you ease out. I hope writing this it helped you.

Debbie Guzzi July 7, 2009 at 4:06 PM Not sure if this is love? or a not so nice person? Welcome to the soup.
