My Poetry

Empty

Void

Hollow

Obscene

Obscure

Open

It seems to me

This thing I see

Is not real or tangible

But if I dare to take a look

It could become quite manageable 

To have or naught

To speak for wrought

Of this thing that I'm not sure of

Could be for me a thing of might

Of that I could be right

I agree with Devon! It's like watching a birth or opening one's eyes slowly or a butterwfly out of a cocoon! Love it! ?

I like this poem, Lisa. I take it the first six "lines" are descriptors for your poems that you are reviewing. And in reading them again, you found dem power in dem words. I like the self-discovery of this.
