CLUTCH

CLUTCH

 

Cutting it from within us,

Lest we choose nomore

Upright, any longer...

Tough to break once

Clawed therein;

Haste truly does nothing here

I may have gotten a little lost ,
in " this sea of words". Actually like any
great painting, this word painting is pretty
much up to the interpretation of the viewer.
What impresses me most is the economy of words,
this poem says a lot with few words and I think
that is one of the outstanding characteristics of a
great writer, saying a lot with few words.
You have done it again, James, another masterpiece.

I'm totally lost on this one. I have read it several times and haven't a clue. Unless you're talking about a clutch in a car, which doesn't appear to be the case. The other clutch, holding on to something tightly.

or a clutch of eggs. I don't know . Guess you finally got one on me.

well spoken, well thought out, crafted wisely in the way it provides
the reader with different interpretations but one singular meaning,
in fitting acrostic form, clutch, as haste does nothing, as in showing
how haste is a complication when the moment matters, great visuals
many lines draw the reader to think, and delve on the imagery, mike
