[hometext] => 9/10/04 Another CW assignment (the last CW assignment poem was written 9/4/04) Had to write about a widow whose husband drowned & who now must deal with water, though she's afraid of it. I actually am afraid of water, so I incorporated that as well.
[bodytext] => A toddler girl's head bobs up and she screams And again she is gone in the deep blues and greens When a man in blue jeans and a grey flannel shirt Jumps right in, brings her out, her lungs flood and they squirt And she cries cause she's scared and it's happened before Like those two other times she had hit the pool floor As she grows she becomes a girl with a fear And in gym class she says no water year after year Cause the smell of chlorine wrings tears from her soul And she shakes and she cries and she screams and she's cold Her nose starts to burn and the snot's in her throat And it happens again at the lake in a boat But her husband insists that she'll come to no harm With his calm warm embrace and his sweet perfect charm But somehow the boat came to turn and to toss And so starts wherefore she now grieves this great loss See her fear hadn't taught her to float or to swim And so she remains now and owes it to him Cause he's off dead and gone in the depths of the lake now the thought of him brings her to sieze and to quake She wears only blues, blacks and greenish, cold grey As a mem'ry to keep in her mind of that day When she looks at her closet the tears wring out fast So this fear shall remain until breath greets her last [comments] => 6 [counter] => 142 [topic] => 48 [informant] => liquidsunshine [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

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. ©
