Two for the price of one

Two for the price of one

A Poem by Chris Shaw
"

Something different

"
Rooted

an open window
escape route for those confined
apathy laughs loud


Revenge

volcanic meltdown
an eruption of hatred
brutal in extreme

Get outa here, no way ..
Apathy, an emotion so bleak. The escape from the open window feels like abandonment.
Revenge, on the other hand, seems explosive and intense here.
Beautifully expressed, dear Chris!

It's funny really how we fight for freedom, there's no peace in that.

This sounds like someone who has escaped prison and they are hell bent on revenge. Great words in this piece that creat vivid images and a story within the mind.

Hi Chris,

I would like to share one story.
There was once daisy, turned to their desk top flower then to table top flower.

Once there was a season of thunder stroms which could blew off the timy petals.

So the mom and dad made a glass building not even the high speed wind can enter.

Now the daisy is safe in home where it can survive safely with him.

I just want to share one thing, enough is like limit, when exceeds the brim then it has to come out fall down. This may be desire or loose talk like knife which tries to hurt others. Within limits is safer for self and even if it exceeds it cant move or hurt others rather self destruction.


Jessy jacob,
With love hugs🫠🥰-


I liked this new way of writing clear, crisp and right at target.
