- friend or foe -
a fighting foe at edge of camp
I see your form
then not
ephemeral you are my friend
your shadow slinks
on past
at first I'd swear you don't exist
cerebral twist
a plot
horizon's heated bawdy brawl
the loser is
outcast
such fighting fists of underground
your deathly stare
Read the rest of the poem Show less
decreed
at times I'd glimpse a spicy scent
anathema to
my sphere
and then one day you cornered me
defeat would I
concede
before I knew a roar erupts
an impact so
severe
go on ignore emotion true
defend this frail
veneer
embrace my rage with limits safe
release at last
from fear

"feel an echo inside me that concurs strongly with what you say here... yes, poetry is all these things and I will loosen up a bit with how I write perhaps as I do tend to drift towards some structure for form yet the fr…" -

"I really like "defend, deny, recede" and ... "release at last from fear" In my opinion, they wrap up this poem nicely. Mike" -

"You have paired "decreed" and "concede" and "severe" and "fear" So to me, the next to the last stanza can stand alone and doesn't need to use "veneer" or anything else to rhyme with the end rhymes in the stanza above or…" -

About Me
About me
My strongest motivator to write is to express what builds up inside and explore what is within the space, the moment, the emotion. Sometimes it is nature that inspires, but often it is simply the necessity to create, to share and the hope that maybe what I write can resonate with a fellow poet. Thank you for this opportunity to see how I can progress in my writing skills.

CJ Krieger writes in a way that inspires me. His walks through the Catskill mountains are stirring and beautifully described - also the poems on relationship loss. https://allpoetry.com/C._J._Krieger
