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!

[David Scott]

Yes, poetry reflects relationships well. However, poetry is easier to reproduce and to correct or even manipulate. Sometimes poetry is organic and a force all it's own, but relationships are always something that is paid for even if it is a fleeting thing. The payment is dear and the deal is not always worth the bargaining.
Enjoyed the metaphor here Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Whoa, I got a whole lot of information on your relationships in that short snippet! Thanks David ;-)

[David Scott]

Ha. Don't read too much into a momentary mood...
;)

[Frieda P]

Ha, those are the most telling, like when your drunk. ;-P

[David Scott]

Ok dear. You seem to insist on poking me with a stick. I'll play dead for now unless you need to kill me off...;)

[Frieda P]

No stick, I just like it people own up. ;-P

[quinfinn]

i dont care how well you plan your life...you cant plan for everything. you do the best you can and make the best of every eventuality....otherwise you never find happiness. powerful write here, frieda

[Frieda P]

Thanks quin, you are right, the best laid plans blow up in your face. What's that saying, if you wanna make god laugh, tell him your plans...there you have it.

No problem, it is nice to see it fully dressed now, though the prior sneak peek wasn't too bad either.

[Frieda P]

Thank you Jack, weird to get caught with your pants down...ha

[Frieda P]

[Frieda P]

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

That is because we all have different layers so why wouldn't our poetry.

[Frieda P]
