Poetry Train
You…
Laugh
Cry
Pout
Fly.
Hold tight
Push away
Want to leave
Need to stay.
Worship a little
Cherish less
Despise more
Wish to confess.
Turn
Run
Whisper
Scream.
Hurt me for a minute
Save me for an hour
Hate me for a day
Love me forever.

Love it! The contradictory images are wonderful.
That’s awesome and and AWESOME way to start a poem. WOOT.
damn – i like that one! alot!
the picture too – can i have him?
(yeah – i’m getting greedy. blame Lisa)
Beautiful poem, T.A.
Jill,
I did a lot of searching for that guy…lol. Slaved away. 😀
Thanks. It took a little work to get words that flowed well together.
lmao…thanks, Susan.
He is rather luscious, isn’t he? 😉
I’m glad you like the poem as well. I was thinking it would make a good song with the last stanza being the chorus.
The girls were right this picture is one hell of a butt shot!!
I think this is one of my favorite from you!! I like the contradiction interchanging in each line!!
You knocked me on the floor with that picture, TA. What a gorgeous man! Whoo!!
And then, when I tried to get up, you knocked me right back down with the poem. You are so damn good with emotions, I’m jealous.
I’m also typing from the floor, afraid to move in case you’ve got more waiting for me. Pardon any typos; I can’t see the screen from down here!
Thanks, everyone. 🙂 I wrote it and after I posted it, I realized it stopped rhyming at some point. lol.
That’s why I tend not to rhyme my poems. I lose the flow after a while.
i wanted to pick favorite lines… but i can’t, good one T.A.
Yep, the last part if my fave too!
Wow, T.A. – I really love this one. Especially:
‘Hurt me for a minute
Save me for an hour
Hate me for a day
Love me forever.’
Perfection.
Your poetic voice is extraordinary. I love the words and imagery they conjure.
As for the picture, I think I’ll probably have this man’s behind on my mind all day long. Which is a good thing since I’m writing a sex scene. lol Have a great day!
Minimalist stanzas…very effective…
