power felt in return
It twists back from the end
coils round the opening
and pounces on its prey
power sees no end
It slides up from the shadows
covers the light
does not allow it to enter
power blinds them
at a sideways angle
It scatters filament
then it disappears

I don't write poetry, I'm mostly a fiction writer, so I have trouble understanding and analyzing poetry. I'll just say I saw a thunder/tornado like storm. Am I close. I know, I know. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteBJ Roan I had given this no thought to being a storm but could be! Thanks for commenting!

I saw electrical wires - but maybe that is because my late husband was an electrical engineer.
ReplyDeleteOld Grizz sees the mis-use of power and I assume the powere of one person over another. it coiled around me and would not le go. Interesting..mind provoking...thought titilating...good
ReplyDeleteI loved your vocabulary in this piece to tease us in trying to find a meaning behind the poem. Personally I just enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteGranny Smith Thanks for commenting and I hadn't thought about it being electricity but I suppose so!

I saw a snake slithering.... perhaps because I encountered one on my weekend adventure.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the word combinations, Pamela!

ReplyDeleteWhen I wrote it seemed to me more like a snake also!

I love the feel of this - power insinuating itself, once it is there is just kind of seeps into al the corners and then takes over the person who thought they controlled it. Loved it!
