PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Ballad writer, ballad singer,

is this the only way? Tellings

and twistings, pounded

into shape, cut like cookies

into many flavors.

.

Short in length or long

in length, the stride is still

the same. Like a furnace

thumping on in winter

where temperatures drop

and only the feelings of warmth

or despair or love arrive

to end the shiver.
