Back to the Poetry

Okay, so this is what I've neglected posting on this particular blog:

This is from a prompt asking how do you set fire to the rain - a line from an Adele song:

setting fire to the rain
of tears falling
frees the paincauterizes the heartallows the healing
to start

This one came to me last night:

I feel anger rising
again as a shield
against the pain

Love has leached away
with the realization of loss,
of lies,
of dreams built on sand
destroyed

Pain pulls down
Anger buoys up

Love would light the way
Lies took that light away

Darkness rules now

What defense is left?


And this one came today:

Black cat
ate white rat
who made gray elephant
squeal

Eclectic group, no?
