Sue - My God, you are deep. The metaphors in this poem can mean many things. 'expose my fear as the fraud that it is'-that is thought-provoking. Very well done. Charlie

    Hi Charlie, we gotta stay one sneaky step ahead of those pesky emotions that get in our way! HA! So glad you enjoyed this one and thanks for your lovely compliments and review. Sue :-)

Your theme is very deep and I truly liked it because it's a great reflection in my own, "let it rain so they can fully grow," very introspective phrase.

This is nothing short of amazing! I love the imagery and metaphor of strength as seeds that need to grow, and fear as a fraud. You did so much with a tight nonet structure and made it look easy. This is a great entry for the contest. I wish you the best of luck!

when stomach tightens, just to inflame
the raw dependancy of me
I swallow icicles, cold
and deep into my soul,
heart become a slave,
mind cowering,
the freeze is
all I
need

Hey Sue,

I REALLY like this one! I was expecting to vote for Ray's but now I think it's gonna have to be yours. This is really profound & I don't know too many folks that would ask for the rain to give them strenght & realize fear is nothing.

Great Job!

smiles,

deb

I like the way you compare the source of your strength to the sunshine and rain. Let the rain wash away your fear and the sunshine will nurture the seeds of your strenght and cause them to take deep root. Nicely done.
