I tripped over your syllables

In a word or two
getting to know you
was living your verse
through a life sentence.
How the flow
from your imagery
moved me chasing
down your every meter
until I laid beside
your finished stanza.
In the curse of your verse
my thoughts did wander
your page exposed,
I scribbled my intent,
I am leaving.

Smiling, much appreciating your metaphors or- if you prefer, more pointed pencils to enhance this very memorable poem,
' How the flow
from your imagery
moved me chasing
down your every meter
until I laid beside
your finished stanza.'

What a cleverness!

You are getting so clever at these metaphorical poems i might be leaving too... well done Andrew but you leave me muddled at times lol

[andrew mitchell]

So sorry to have you muddled. Are they that bad? Not my intention so again my apologies. Kind regards Andrew

[Stella Armour]

not bad Andrew , just so really good they are too good for my tired old mind lol

This is amazingly written- I love the metaphors, the writing was amazing and it was all beautifully tied up at the end. I loved your play on words, verses, stanzas, hearing all that in a poem itself makes it feel like it holds even more meaning. Thank you so much for sharing!

Wow! I did not see the twist coming. Powerful ending to a creative poem. You are waxing with greatness.
