I wrote this after seeing the damage Hurricane/Tropic storm Irene and the flooding caused it deeply affected me so I decided to write this poem:
stand and cry
one single tear for
every life,
every loss,
every dream taken away
in a breath taking moment of sudden power
everything was lost in under an hour
floating away,
away,
away
then gone, left all alone
a world far way from the one I was in
one where pain didn't exist,
emotions not so tough
and no river would ever get this rough
stand and cry
everything you write always has meaning, its so cool

ReplyDeleteI really like this poem. I found it interesting how you didn't capitalize any words. I also liked how you utilized anaphora throughout, making the poem more meaningful.
