Monday Poetry Train #31
Look at post below this one for the Blogoversary contest and ongoing post!
Another old one while i continue to tweak the newer ones.
Choice
The Anima spreads herself wide
Straining, pained
As we thrust ourselves
From between her legs –
Renewed
Reborn
Reclaimed.
No greater power than Choice
In the travesty
Of human life,
We create our own truths
Defining
Or denying
What’s wrong or what’s right.
Close the door on the past
And deny what it would claim,
Recreation
Is salvation
When living is nothing
More than pain.

'We create our own truths

I'm SO glad you started the Poetry Train, Rhian. It's helped me redefine my truth in such a wonderful way.
Ya might want to not visit until the hangover's set in... You and RP can commiserate, then.
Me, I think it's bronchitis. I'm back to the couch.
Great poem, Rhian! Happy Blogoversary!
I've truly enjoyed riding the Poetry Train each week. Thanks for the opportunity. :)
Happy B-versary! I am soo glad you started the Poetry Train, i have posted things that i was so afraid to show to anyone before.
I have really enjoyed your blog since i started visited just a few months ago.
You rock Rhian!
How very very true:
No greater power than Choice
In the travesty
Of human life,
We create our own truths
Defining
Or denying
What’s wrong or what’s right.
Wow is it really 31 weeks? Where did they go?
i look forward to riding the train, rhian! thanks for being conductor/engineer!
"When living is nothing
More than pain."
I have felt this way for some time now...
Happy Blogoversary!
the last stanza sells it
Happy Blogoversary Rhian!
Perfect choice of poem for a 'birthday'. It's theme of renewal and transformation is one of my favorites as it has seemed to be the defining theme of my life. I often wonder if my middle name, Renee, has anything to do with that. Like being tagged by the Universe for this cosmic meme. :)
Thanx for the ride. It's been a hoot.
Great sound. Happy Blogiversary.
I did something a little different this week.
I've been jumping over from TA Chase's blog for a while then (finally!) bookmarked you in my Monday folder so I wouldn't forget.
Happy Blogoversary! - looks I need to get you out of the Monday folder :)
Thank you for the comment. The best part & something that I should have mentioned (edit, edit!), is that he took the photo too!
The past is great for claiming salvation though
"No greater power than Choice"
Great line! We always have the power to choose. Happy blogoversary!
Great poem, Rhian and congrats on the blogaversary. It's been a great ride so far. :)
Happy Blogoversary!!!
I wrote an ode to you as well ;)
Its always such a joy to come here-thank you.
And-as always-beautiful poem.
Happy Blogoversary, Rhian!
Wonderful poem. I believe that choice is all-important. While we can't always control what happens to us, we can ALWAYS choose how we react to it. And that makes all the difference.
Wishing you MANY more blogoversaries, my friend!
Happy Blogaversary. I know I haven't been around. I've missed ya. ((hugs))
Happy blogaversary, Rhi. Loved the poem.
can i take your bartender home with me? I need somthing to brighten my day... it is pretty dreary here!
oh, also you share your anniversary with my brothers birthday... but i would hazard a guess that he has been around longer than your blog.
(whisper) -- but you are funner-!
Yeah, happy boggersphere thingie. But who cares, right? When we have jewels like this to read.
I'm not much for straight poetry but I like this. Happy anniversary. I see this as the start of a beautiful relationship. Kidding!
Happy Blogaversary. And thanks for the train ride.
