Just a scratch

Started with a simple thought.

Could not let it go.

Kept itching.

Shared the feeling.

Paid the price.

So amidst the sirens,
  don't worry.

Look away.

Just a scratch.

:: i think i can't stop sharing feelings and paying the price... maybe it's an addiction... :: a very profound piece, monsieur jon... reminds me of many occasions when i paid the price... and survived...

Another image which got stuck in my head. Saw what was happening in the Ukraine, and now it seems to be getting worse. I hate for this to be the motivation of a write. Thanks, as always.

:: yeah... it's definitely an act of aggression on the part of the Russians... :: don't hate the source of inspiration, monsieur jon... a poet is a reflection of his times... you're an accurate poet... and i admire you for that...

I like this one. At one point I did have a silly Monty Python moment and begin to giggle but then I got back to the serious business of poetry. Great poem man!

Your poetry always leaves me wondering "what it's all about" but there is always something so intimate about it that it makes you wander back in to try to figure it out.

I tend to run with what I see, or feel. Yes, I should give some explanation. This came about after the riots in Ukraine.

yes, with that small bit of information it takes on a whole new meaning, and now the small amount we do know makes all the difference. :)
