A Taste of Spring

Distracted Restlessly inactive Desperate for the formula for joy Attracted Recklessly reactive Rescued from the silence of the void (Hearing everything) Over the frozen ground You walk on by I explode Without so much as a sound But then you're near! Trembling like the earth Inside The ice that disappears Blown softly open By degrees As slight as deep Morning tundra yawns Its filthy whine Disturbing the soil of years A product of my environment Skeptical and wired More than a little irrelevant Always so tired Of tragedies already written Of competition for roles To survive, win or lose, To pay the price for repetition I vow to leave this spectacle behind But then you're here! Trembling like the trees Outside Your buzzing, breathless fear Blown softly over By a breeze As light as sleep Budding blossoms weep Their minted sighs Releasing the doubt alive in me (Please) Baby come for me Let me know your zeal Let me know your greed Let me know you're real Even if you may not love me Baby come for me (Born of the urge To devour what is beautiful Favor the nectar of a queen Torn by the surge To divide the irreducible Savor the subtle taste of spring) Hearing everything Over the fertile ground You walk on by I explo- © Michal Czechak 2010-2016

Well, when reading the poem the first time, I did have some thoughts. You have too much space between some of your versed lines. Yes, it flows like a lyric, but at the same time reads like a free verse poem. My favorite line was " the ice disappearing --- open by degree" great metaphor. Enjoyed. Linda

I'm not too well-versed (smirk) in exact definitions for poetic structures. I have since changed the form to "Verse." These are song lyrics and that option wasn't available in the drop-down. -M.C.

Michal, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
