Slighted Soul



I love you is like lightening--

just a rumble and then a crash

& it falls away;

just a shot of self denial -

banana boat bananza

& I'll be fine -

I lived through it before.

    This is short, compact and puts your point across perfectly. I love the lightening comparison. It's fantastic: I've never thought of it like that, and it's definitely accurate. It's brilliant. This flows well, and the last line really packs a punch and screams of hope. I love this, it's great.
    Fantastic write.

    I saw the title of this poem and thought it would be good because the title sounded pretty. I think this is a pleasent little poem you have here. Short, but sweet. I really like the first stanza (Because of the lightening simalie), but the second one I'm still kind of not sure about... hmm... Even so, I liked this short little poem.

    i think "lightening" is "lightning"

    "banana boat bananza"--like that.

    Very short but very nice! Thank you for sharing this.

    I like it, it's true and in so few words you say all that needs to be said.

    Sometimes, this can be very much true, but sometimes, the times that it matters, it isn't, but the problem is telling them apart and also not denying it or closing our ears to it when it is real.

    Good write.
