This one read really well for a non-rhyming poem. The rhythm added feel to the read rather than taking it away, and I felt the message came though loud and clear, though in a sort of expression of paradox of life. I can relate to the meaning behind it, I felt a connection to the author when reading.

    cool ... this was an expression about lovers who shall we say were misfits in this world and all they had was each other. I was experimenting with it but it turned out a o.k.. Much appreciated my friend so long as you enjoy the reads you can have as much connection as you like .lol.

Very compelling. I really enjoyed the subtle imagery and your word choice throughout. The refrain worked nicely keeping it focused and tying it all together. Well done!

    Thank you my friend this was about obesity and how two such individuals would be as lovers. After all when in a relationship there is only you and her or you and him to really be concerned about and so long as they can love one another what does it matter to anyone else. lol.

Ah! we who are reluctant,
plagued horrors,
disturbing mentalities,
writhing slowly,
manipulating rigidity.- Bic the entire poem was brilliant and like your exclamations !! AH! at the beginning, this is how free verse shoudl be written wit ha metaphor, a question and a lesson!

BRAVO MY FRIEND, 6 STARS MISS YOU PAL!

This is quite brilliant with some stunning word choices. I loved "feel breaths beat upon your silhouette" and the way you ended with "perfect harmony". An interesting and thought-provoking read. Great work!

Kindest of regards,

Mrs D :-)

If you are what you are in the first stanza of this poem. Then you are not in perfect harmony. This was a well written poetic voice that I enjoyed reading... John
