Horsepower


the sign says "Stop"
but momentum can't read

fury
the catalyst that knows no restraint

impulse
driving the spur in its side

Linking up with dVerse

    Love the free feeling of movement you can benefit from once you have built some momentum - there is nothing so rewarding as the pull of momentum once you have put in the effort to get something started.

    Brightly engaging with a raw power - both words and image.

    Mmm, not sure if that is a good or a bad thing - but isn't that what poetry is all about - ambiguity?

    Each stanza has an edge to it as it stands alone but paired with the subsequent stanza, they gain blunt force. Well written.

    I love the expression of raw power you capture in so few words...very fine writing.

    I get this, smiles ~ Perhaps a deep breathing and space are what is needed ~

    This could be about so many things--driving, writing, anger. Emotions felt in so many circumstances. I like the ambiguity!

    Powerful, regardless of the situation our minds tells us it describes. Lovely!

    I love that this is so short and spare, yet says much. Well done.

    so rare it is that fury seeks the "good" path - I hope this isn't something you have had to experience

    This poem just continues your previous theme that nature has its own time...now - has its own momentum..it's good for us to be aware and somehow get prepared...

    Momentum can't read. So true. As for fury, if you find a restraint, please please tell me. Wonderful write. Thank you.
