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

  1. 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.

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

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

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

  18. 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...
