A Force to be Reckoned

Sometimes 

         they just flow

 and other times 

         they're like pulling teeth 

          they need to be polished.

  Sometimes 

    they're deep and frothy, 

sometimes they just 

sling an arrow

         right to the heart of it

Long and tedious 

            or short and sweet

not sure which is

               the better treat

Each in it's own way,

a force 

to be reckoned

Make sense of a rhyme

            or doing the time

Relationships and Poetry

 go hand in hand

Some impact

 or not

branding an

          indelible print

           of life consumed

either way you've

              lived through them

around them, 

in them

              were momentarily,

or forever moved

 only to come out

            the other side,

 wiser 

If not stronger,

nonetheless...

we do live through, around and in words...and those words often determine whether the relationship is short or longer...

short, not necessarily being sweet...

but long is not necessarily good either...

unless the words and feelings are sweet--

you are a master of your craft.

this poem got me going...

nicely phrased...

[Frieda P]

Wow, this means a lot jacob, since I truly admire your work, thanks a million!

[Tarry Franck]

I agree with Jacob - Master of your craft - I couldn't take my eyes off this piece of art of poetry in motion. Masterpiece.

[Frieda P]

Wow Tarry, I am truly humbled by your words...you made me cry twice today, now you've totally made my day! Thanks so much....x

[Tarry Franck]

My Pleasure dear friend - Take a bow for this one darling :)

[InsanityWriter]

Very nice. :)

[Emerald Seas]

Yes, so very intertwined and linked. I prefer the poetry to not be so long as in wallowing in an emotion rather than expressing it. Although I'm sure I'm guilty of writing that way at times. Great correlation drawn between our writing and relationships.

[Frieda P]

ha Wallow, one of my favorite words...I hear ya, sometimes we get all clogged up though, no other way, thanks again Sera.

[Jess]

nicely phrased:)

[Frieda P]

Grazie khicks ;-)

[Claire Twinn]

I like the link between the two, which took me by surprise. Unlike poetry I think relationships can be long and sweet too!

[Frieda P]

Perhaps, if you're lucky! Thanks Claire.

[Relic]

This is a splendid observation. Words are powerful or boring as hell as are poems.

[Frieda P]

ha, how true...thanks so much, I'm content you didn't find this one boring!

[Relic]

Nope. :)

[Frieda P]

Does the *happy* dance. ;-)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

The comparison of poetry to relationships is most interesting.

[Frieda P]

Thanks John.

[KAOlmsted]

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. And f**k yes just for good measure ;-) Love this.

[Frieda P]

[Carolann Dowsett]

Awesome! You are so apt at describing the heart of the poet and the affect poetry has on our lives.

[Frieda P]

[Carolann Dowsett]
