Boomerang

A neat little poem with a neat little format.

Hold strong
    To the beliefs

         You hold dear,
              Because once

                   You‘ve Let

                       Them go,
                           That is when
                               You will

                              Miss them
                           The most,
                        And they’re
                    Not always
                So easily
            Found again
        Once they’ve
    Been lost
Forever.
   

Author's Note

Just something that came to mind this lovely night.
And quite randomly, I might add.
Oh, and boomerangs are supposed to always come back to you, but they don't always do just that.
I had one when I was younger and I could never get it to come back to me.
Like anything, you have to work at it.
You have to really want it.

Definitely a special creation you have here with a special message as well :) The format alone is uniquely imaginative. I have never seen the boomerang used in a poem before. What makes the boomerang so special is how it is applied to beliefs. Like you say, the boomerang doesn't always come back, so once you let them go, they may never return. Or, maybe they return again and haunt you. I guess it depends on how a person views beliefs, and on how a person defines beliefs. This is a brilliant poem, Raye! And, very fun to read! Much love to you....

Really liked this. Love the "boomerang" affect, it did work out very well. I have never seen this style of writing before, it couldn''t have been easy to do. What you say is so very true, once you lose "something" it is not so easily found again if it ever is. Great job Raye. ;)

I love this! Very creative! Your writing and artistic skills truly shine here :)
I believe your boomerang to be karma.. something I live by. And when I slip...bam! lol

Wonderful message and so beautifully conveyed! Bravo!

Nice colors Raye! This is very unusual in format, which is always a pleasant surprise for me. The content is very wise and to the point...it is not 'just' something...it is extrmely powerful in message...Hold tight to your good thoughts.
You go you good thing :-)
Cheers,

This is an interesting piece! It had a nice message that most people need to come to realize.

I like the format; it made it fun to read!

I think you have quite a nice piece here. Not that you don't always! ^-~.

At first, this struck me as a bit strange, because the format and the content of the poem don't seem to match. But it makes sense, now that I really think about it. I like this poem a lot. The format is a really cool idea, and the poem itself is pretty awesome. Good work. ^_^

My God! Am I looking at an Image? Yeah, that it is.

Great way of expression. Great Concept. Great Poem. Great word-arrangments. Great Simplicity. Great Philosophy:

"And they're
Not always
So easily
Found again
Once they've
Been lost
Forever."

That's very true.
