The Catch Of Love

The Catch Of Love

A Poem by Brandon Henson 1990

As I dive deeper down,

Darker it grows, as the light drowns,

 

Faster and faster, my kicking gets,

Trying to avoid, Loves fishing nets,

 

And as I hide, amongst the kelp,

The catch of Love cries for help

 

So many caught, dragged astray,

Fallen and devoured,

As Loves prey.

 

But every so often, a pearl is found,

A rare thing of beauty,

True Love begins to mound.

 

For a moment, the nets break free,

Long enough, for you and me to see,

Love will not drag us out to sea.

I like it. Great metaphor,terrific imagry. Well structured with a good flow and use of words. But,... but...... It did make me smile, but not the way Life did. You have a good sense of humour. Let it roam a little more. It may lift your poetry to a new level.

I like the story and the movement of words. You create a very good tale of love danger and it victory. I like how you ended this outstanding poem.

aww this is so sweet! hah i know, im such a girl! haha
Anyway, I loved it defiantly going into my favorites list!
The imagery was even had a flow to it.
I find that one of the harder things for writers to do is to have a poem that is fluid along with the imagery. your wording was defiantly perfect.
I can see you doing very well in writing :)
