the fight

quiet, she makes tea
his angry words light a flame
the water simmers
her rage silent, heat rises
at last, boiling words escape

The water is boiling...

I love writing these things! A challenge but personally satisfying. Thanks for reading and commenting. With your very busy days (see your poem), it means a lot!

I'm really into this now - just look what you have done - created another prisoner (see your poem). I do it for love though - great feeling to be actually creating something new! Almost like having a baby, but not quite. Thanks for reading and commenting.

great emotion can come from even the smallest occurrences (wasn't there a great poem that began something like that - my memory fails?) thanks for reading and commenting, your input is very much appreciated as well as your poems.
