Them vs. You
They are whispering winds that cascade upon my eardrums
You are thunderous bellows that make the trees quake
They are willow trees, whose branches shade me from the world
You are hemlocks who poison my mind with your troubles
They are rolling waves that help wash away the etching of my pain
You are harsh rain that stings my skin as I race away before you can reach my heart
Them vs. You
They are the light
You are the dark
They are the peace
You are the terror
They know who has come out triumphant
But will you?

Syd,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if you know of the term "assonance" yet, but you use it very effectively in your poetry. You use words that are soft when describing one party (whispering winds, rolling waves) but harsh, sharp words when describing the other (poison, harsh rain, thunderous bellows). Reading those words aloud really helps your tone for each party come through.
Beautiful work :)
Your poetry is amazing and ILY!!!!!! Your blogs are so cool and creative and I love the way you write. After all, you are the guru of everything!!!!!!! Great work, my "stalkee" (is that a word used for someone who is stalked by me?)
