Unto the Storm: A Poem
61
Madness lurks
As Madness will
Beneath
A cap, a brow or frill
Serve unto
A master's sword
The hand and helm
Grip life no more
I wake to find
Another storm
Has stolen that
Which did not mourn
The words that lips
Could not express
Now speak to
The sea in jest
And when the flow
Of Ebb and Tide
Beneath my soul
On ocean's ride
No longer breaks
Unto the shore
I'll sail upon
This ship
No more

Thanks,,,,but still don't know why you could do yours like that, and I had to write it in preformatted....anyways, I think that we are going thru similar pain....i hope you are finding some healing w/ your writing. Thanks for reading it...
It looks definitely better this way Light to my eyes :)
I dare not to comment on the poem itself - due to my ESL...
What is ESL,,,,Misha, silly...please tell me what that is, now I won't rest. YOu do not like my poem.
English as Second Language LOL
This has nothing to do with liking or disliking, I have hard time understanding poems :(
Ahhh, yes, it has nothing to do with understanding, however.....it has to do w/ the feeling that is evoked inside of you when you read it. All of us, no matter what language that we speak, understand loss. That is what this poem is about. I don't want you to understand it, I want something to stir inside of you when you read it!
My little star, being a nuthead I have to understand first in order to feel. I'll try hard for you, just give me some time and don't get upset if I don't finish this today :)
oh my sweet, you are not a nuthead....I wish I could interpret it for you so you would know...I am just glad that you even tried......please rest well, this eve and do not burden yourself with trying to understand the loss of a nutbird like me. I am lost, I am lost, I am lost right now. I cannot comprehend.
sounds good deb! why u gettin so deep??? RELAX! take a deep breath and laugh...i love your laugh!!!!
my little sweat pea, you visited me....how nice...I am deep, it had to be known!

I am a poet and just don't know it, I want to sing, but can't stop the ring
in my head, i hear noise
and then I think of boys
I want this to end,
but then I just spend
more money online
to try and buy time
and now i must go
oh, don't you know!
I know, I am wierd, thanks Jerrico
LOL, you are cute, not weird :)
Hi, darling.....you are cute too....did you just have to read the poem one more time, honey?
I read it many times already. I feel the rythm - and I don't feel the message :(
Your second one - in comments - is much easier to comprehend to me :)
I see, well, if I was there, I would explain it further to you, but alas, I am not...good night then.
Man the lifeboats!!!
The ship's sinking but we can rescue her.
Catch hold of the lifeline.
Pull her in. Is she still alive?
Thank God for that but she will need intensive care.
You are funny....
I TOO WANT TO FIND ANOTHER STORM
