Runaway

a poem

 

 Let life take me where it may,

Wherever that might be,

I'm just another runaway.

I don't care where this road goes,

Carrying me out of Hell,

This is the path I chose. 

 

Grasping every opportunity coming this way
Don't worry, I won't be home,

I'm just another runaway.

Off the streets, an alley cat,

I'll roam freely and forever,

And dodge every planned attack

 

One Place is where I won't stay,

You'll never see me again.

Because I'll always be a runaway

With one too many friends.

Wow this poem is great, the best I have read on here, this is so well written an planned out, the photo you have included works well and really sets the atmosphere and mood that you are tying to create in this piece of work. The poem flows really well. Great work fantastic well done, keep up the great work. Love your work as well.

Love that last stanza... Great poem!!

[Damien Thibodeaux]

Melancholy, and defiant independence ripple through your poem. Nice write Rachel. What did you mean with your last line, "With one to many friends"? Seems like it may have a personal meaning which you keep to yourself. It left me curious.

[RachelReaper]

Well if it is a personal meaning... it shall remain personal. *grins* but I'm glad you liked it.

"I don't care where this road goes,
Carrying me out of Hell,
This is the path I chose. "...my favourite in all. so determined and so keen to live independently. it's a nice piece.

[Leslie Philibert]

a great rhyme scheme ABACDC ( if i have counted correctly,) you have freed yourself from the ordinary dull couplet form and written a fine poem..

[RachelReaper]

interesting, i'm not sure what to say as far as an involved review is described, but it's interesting.
