For the month of April I’m playing with poetry. Today is no form. It is raw.
This is what’s happening now. Right now I have no control over things.. Poetry can serve to sort this through.
Raw
This isn’t the way it’s suppose to go.
Bags are packed, emotions are high
Postpone They say
You need signatures
Three
Downtown:
Risk Management
Outdoor Education
Dr. I’m in Charge
They, The Three Signatures,
can break
hearts.
Hiding behind titles.
Hiding in offices,
Downtown.
They can say No,
They have the Power.
We wait,
hoping, powerless.
Angry.
Thank you fellow poet bloggers who are reaching for more in their lives and in their teaching. It’s nice to journey together. Check Leigh Anne, Michelle, Margaret, Kevin, Mary Lee, and Cathy’s blogs for more poetry inspiration.

Thank you, Julieanne. Like you, I’ve found that poetry, because it is formed from words and images and metaphors, can help put the right-words to what is happening in the moment. And through those right-words a world can be created, transformed. Best to you.
Julieanne,
I enjoy free verse. There’s something about getting finding the perfect words to get a message down to its core. It’s in this process that things often become clearer. I hope that things work out the way you hope.

Oh Julieanne!! There’s so much emotion in here! “They”….I don’t like “They”!!! The title “Raw” is perfect! It depicts the poem flawlessly! I’m hoping the anger turns to unexpected joy… I’m sorry for whatever is going on, but the poem it inspired is certainly POWERful!!
I hope “they” didn’t say no, Julieanne. This is like a big ‘shout’-well done.
This is very intriguingly emotional! I hope this turns out well for you!
