Creating "New Lives"

Worked with Compare and Contrast-intersection-juxtaposition, etc.

I did achieve the effect I wanted.


Extract from "New Lives" 

First published in David Fraser's beautiful blog called Ascent Aspirations: Friday Poems.  The piece can be read in its entirety by going to the blog, clicking Friday's Poems at top left, choosing 2017 poems and then scrolling to February 3rd.  (it's not too far down)

New Lives


A piece of trash                                                         
                                                                        A woman


Thrown out the door                                                 
                                                                        Thrown out of the house

Lies in the street                                                        
                                                                        Walks the streets

By itself                                                                     
                                                                        Alone

Forgotten                                                                   
                                                                        Abandoned

It's original use unremembered.
                                   
                                                                        No longer loved by one who did.






Afterthoughts for "New Lives"



I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.



Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe.

Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
