[hometext] => This poem is my first for a while. It is about clinging onto something that does not matter, but then being sad when it goes. Or that is how I interprate it.
[bodytext] => The leaves rush past my ears, my head I close my eyes, it leaves them dead. Peace at last from all knowing silence, Birth and rebirth, love and violence. From within my jacket, I pull a gun A wordless cry, a mirthless pun. Click it, cock it, suck it in, The smell of leather, the burning tin ** Twice I fire into the air, And laugh and cry and smile and stare, For all there is, is madness there, The woods shout back. The birds they fly from tree to tree, And all that’s left is earth and me I will not give up, for he The birds they fly. They land on ground, muddy and black, Heavy and rough as potatoes in sack And for all I know they could go back But they do not. The birds they sit and peck and preen Amongst the willows, brown and green And all the life is in-between These moments precious [comments] => 5 [counter] => 220 [topic] => 13 [informant] => franko [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
