Letting Go

Letting Go

A Poem by April Child
"

Challenged to write without form and rhyme... first attempt..

"

What?

write without form you say

let go

bloody hell

 

Radical, nonsensical, alien to me

unbelievably incredible

I suppose I could try

 

Let words tumble

random as raindrops

spattering the page

elegant in their asymmetry

for proportion is not required

to let the words speak

just let them be

 

no plan

no form

no structure

a delicate, beautiful unfolding

of a mind

a heart

 

Art mirrors life

or does life mirror art

perhaps I could try letting go

of  me

 

Open up my closed hand, mind, heart

admire what is within

draw it closer to lovingly gaze upon

before gently blowing  it away

showering the world

with fragmented kisses

wow...good job. You seemed pretty comfortable "letting go" and writing in this form. I understand where you are coming from, I have been told very often on other sites that I don't always have to rhyme...but, I cannot help it either, it is just "habit" I guess...I seem to automaticly think that way!
