If I gave You

If I gave you
all the pain in the world
there would be
no poetry

But within me
verses grow
from the
broken
parts
of
m
e

Like the rose
from cracked
concrete grew life

In what ever good

In what ever bad

My spirit
is never
broken

I don't really like this one ... I let the words and the flow lead me... When I started writing I had nothing in mind I just wanted to write

Reviews

[John Stussy]

All in all, it's a pretty good piece. I particularly like the formatting, it was creatively done. I also rather enjoyed the metaphor of the poem's overall message to the rose growing from the concrete, though I think "claimed" would be better than "grew" as it's more of an action word, and more evocatively captures the stubbornness of that grasp on life from dead stone. Well done with this poem, thank you for sharing.
