COLLISION

running with the wild things

racing ahead of shadows

claims from the sunshine

speckle lightly on the face

faster than her own feet

tripping a surface courageous

arm's length from disaster

always tugging at loose strings

nature’s constant movement

receives the fearless, little outlaw

landing soft at the top of a hill

intently picking flowers

chosen and counted

maintaining links for a chain

plucking only yellows and white

colors that shine in the night

skipping petals drowned scarlet red

blood from a heart broken

better off dead

I collided with the words

spoken as a child

all around her flowers bloom

this heart so strong in rebel spirit  

love will never stay long or abide

in a thing so wild

humbled forever by the moment

blinded by her crown

silenced with the presence

treasures hidden and found

I wrote it a little different than usual, inspired by my sisters and colliding with the memory.

Not bad, my friend. I enjoyed the images you concocted in this piece, and the overall message of it. The images you provide are a nice touch as well. My only suggestion is that you revise for grammar and proper capitalization. Other than that, nicely done. :)

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSheerTerror]

DoormanDan, I enjoyed your review and i will take your advise thank you for taking the time.

wow what a romantic poem, opposites do attract, at first it is a collision but later it goes to something deeper. nice piece of writing.
