Power is a Desperate Kiss #MetaphorDice

.

It is National Poetry Month, and I am joining many others in writing, reading, sharing, and celebrating poetry (occasionally) this month. I am participating in a challenge with my Time to Write writing group where we are trying a different form every day inspired by a fun word of the day. 

This week, Teach Write hosted a poetry writing night, where we gathered together to write and share our poetry. Today's poem was a found poem inspired by the word create.

I played with my metaphor dice and choose these words from my roll to create my found poem.

Power is a desperate kiss,

which is to say, sometimes

we cling a little too long

to that which doesn't last,

sometimes making us heady,

and wanting more,

only to be left

holding regrets from a 

brief moment in time.

Join the poetry round-up with Margaret at Reflections on the Teche.
