Inundated

by Jenni   Jan 7, 2012


Sometimes
I get carried away
in maelstrom of words
like a drowning man

therein lose myself
vertiginously

to latch onto
saving lines.

One breath
before surfacing;

perhaps emerge
and recover.

    Oh I absolutely love this. I do this same thing all of the time! D: The simile 'like a drowning man' seems pretty dead-on to me. Anyway, this is a wonderful poem. :) 5/5

    Another beauty by... DUN DUN DUN... Jenni! Haha. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Anyway, that was beautiful; I loved the flow of the poem. It really seemed to just...touch me with beautiful imagery and extraordinary emotions.

    Jenni, you've done a wonderful job here, and I think that this is the best thing I've read from you. I love the whole idea behind that, and how far you went with the wording, structure and of course... the brilliant figurative language used.:)

    You just have a way with words and its cleary visible in this piece. Just a few lines but with great meaning.
