Hurricane Glass

A steamroller

          with a heart of glass

          stormed in as a hurricane

                destroying 

                        everything in your path

            crunching grey matter

     cutting like shards of rock crystal

          no time to run for cover 

        shot through, no chance for redemption

                   the tsunami of your desecration

             was no match for a mere human soul

                    there's

                                hardly comfort

                                  in the winds of truth

This is really good, it really packs a punch and the imagery you create is vivid.

" stormed in as a hurricane
destroying
everything in your path"

It's sad how a storm can ruin so many people lives and take so many people away from us. This was a great write, I love how you write. You always write on a topic that is real and happening nowadays.

Great job. And, it makes sense! Ha.

[Rita L. Sev]

Winds of truth are just as destructive as the ill wind of deceit... vivid and powerful write!

[Frieda P]

Both just as damaging I'd say, thanks Rita!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

The thing about having a tender heart is it can easily be damaged.

Another gem of a poem.

[Frieda P]

True, Carly said there's more room in a broken heart, but I hardly believe that anymore....thanks Dale.

[Ravyne Hawke]

The hurricane metaphor is powerfully played out through this piece and the music sets an eerie tone. If I may suggest, that dangling comma after "there's" is a bit out of place.. I think it needs a new home *smiles* Beautiful work!

[Frieda P]

You know Lori, I wondered about that myself, wanted to set it off, not sure it works myself, thanks for your review and suggestions, muchly appreciated my friend. :-)

[Stella Armour]

[Frieda P]

Hardly Stella, and thanks so much.

[Mark]

I'm noticing a common theme lately...

[Frieda P]

Ha, what are you trying to say Mark? ;-)

[Mark]

Liars seem to be on your mind in these poems.

[Frieda P]

I don't take kindly to them, especially the charmers that can pull the wool over some people's eyes...

[Mark]

After I got divorced i swore I'd never lie again. I lived a lie for over 20 years and lied just to keep the peace. I do bite my tongue more now than I did a few years ago. I try not to hurt with the truth LOL

[MOON]

Hardly a comfort in the winds of truth , great line Frieda . Can't imagine what it's like to live with hurricanes and tornadoes and those twisters in the US real scary!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much MOON, glad you enjoyed it, and yes, they can be quite scary, although this area not so many tornadoes.
