a poem: Panic!
Feb. 26th, 2009 03:26 pmPlease read and review
Originally written for a contest in which I had to take the titles of five of another poet's poems and work them into a poem, myself.. This is the result.
Titles: Wounds, Uncaged, the Axe, Erosion, Killing time.
Panic
It's killing time
in the battle
of my mind.
Spiritual warfare.
Pulled astray,
I swing back
another fray.
The mess that's left
from battle wounds,
Open my chest;
See the battlefields
upon which
my axe, I wield.
"Save me from myself!"
I cry aloud, enraged.
"I want freedom!"
Now I am left uncaged.
"I'm not sure I can handle this
what would happen if I fall or miss?"
I feel the rumble
of explosions
as the field undergoes
erosion.
Thus my hand still grips the axe,
in readiness for
another attack.
