Resolve


Resolve

I wrote a poem, and I set is aside
But the words leapt off the page as if they were on fire

I wanted it to be the beginning of the end
Of a land where I grow restless, longing to hit SEND

Should there ever be that one final piece
Which claims the conclusion to this beast?

Would there ever be that final scrawl across the page
That left me so satisfied, I never again felt the rage

Perhaps I should look longer
For the keys to success couldn’t be farther

When you cast a wide net, you hope for a bigger catch
You work diligently, hoping for that match

And at long last, when you’ve made the journey for the solution

All you are left with is zero absolution

  1. The line "would there ever be that final scrawl against the page"
    My immediate thought was, I hope not.
    Then I thought of myself, and knew there never would be, if something doesn't bring forth the rage, we can write about the joy.
    Just write
    I like the poetry break.
