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 is reflective of a very wise poet ! :) Very nice wording of the concepts, and I really like the structure/format that you utilized. It made the statements even more effective ! Really think this is a very good writing.

[Frieda P]
