Triggered Memories
There was slice today that made me remember
the past. Since taking on this challenge I have learnt that you can write
about life without the details. I wrote today and it was fun playing with
words. Checking for other words that suited what I wanted to write.
Even when you don't have something to write when you play with the pen it
takes on new life. I'm learning so much about myself.
Sombre
If fear was a colour,
it would be sombre
as sombre as a bruised soul.
as sombre as a bruised soul.
If fear was a taste
it would be just like putrid rage.
If fear was a feeling
it would be as bitter as a bison.
If fear was a smell
it would be as stony as a gravestone.
If fear was a sound,
it would be as silent as a crypt.
I don't understand
why was sombre so cruel
why was sombre left alone
why was sombre so brutal
But most of all
why did sombre see life as pain
why did sombre see violence as the answer
why did sombre remain so
What I understand most today is
why bitterness kills
why darkness is death
why forgiveness is the
ANSWER
for sombre
All the poetic devices you have--similes, metaphors, personfication! Talk about playing with the pen--you're a great poet! Sorry I haven't read your slices before!
ReplyDeleteThanks but I have to confess that I used an online poetry template. I added my word-ingredients and clicked on create - voila!
DeleteWriting can be a good way to know yourself better, and to share yourself with others. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I've learnt during the SOLC is that I know myself pretty well but I tend not to share myself with others. Poetry is a great way to be honest with ones self without being and open book for others to judge.
