One that was soiled and misused It had been thru the wash and cleaned But still appeared abused I took a long walk alone around the park I went Watching other people as they got off the rides some smiles, some tears, some with heads bent I've stood in one line over and over again But I always panicked and fled Never actually got on the ride Because my heart warred with my head I checked out what the park had to offer but the rides I went on were not meant to last Some had me spinning, others were a bore I got sick on a few...they just went too fast The Merry-Go-Round caught my eye Simplitcity at its best Going in circles...around and around eventually it failed the test Passing the one I had avoided before Butterflies flapped their wings inside I took a deep breathe and decided to do it It was time for the Rollercoaster ride. The rules were spoken as the ride began The belts and bars in place The ride started with a jolt My heart began to race Clenching the seat with fists closed tight A million fears running thru my head "Relax," I was told..."don't stress at what's to come Don't panic...Enjoy yourself instead" I took a deep breath and opened my eyes while Inching towards the top I made the decision then and there To just have fun before it stopped The coaster raced suddenly It took me by surprise I had no idea I could feel this way No time for why's Enjoying the wind as it whips thru my hair Loving the freedom...my hands in the air Eyes closed lightly...not longer squeezed tight Exhileration has now replaced fright I've never experienced the unexpected turns, the sudden twists and bends Moving quickly, no time to worry about when the ride might end My heart still fights with my head at times As the ride continues to speed But the pleasure I feel and the freedom it grants right now it's all I need The operator just waved us on again Bubbles of laughter well up inside Don't know why I waited so long... I am really loving this ride [comments] => 2 [counter] => 244 [topic] => 2 [informant] => xoirishxo [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
