One Single Impression: Liquid

.


Liquid;
help and hurt

Fueled with jasmine oil the romance was hot
love kept it kindled such a sweet couple

Later in life there came troubled water
'he' quenched our fire a cold shoulder remained

Separate ways we went experienced two
wary of every stone--left some unturned

Soon two plus two equals two couples new
seasoned chill resistant with second starts

This could be titled A Twice Told Tale. Cleverly done.

You worked the liquid metaphor very well in this poem - a familiar tale, a sad old story.

And we wonder Jim why 50% of marriages end up on divorce. The jasmine oil cools off. :0 I read your poem and after the first couple of lines knew that couple was in trouble. You confirm it later with the split. I like to flow and vocabulary in your poem. An excellent read and take on the prompt.

I couldn't find an email address for you ... so here goes with info on the iron horses!

Greg Congleton has constructed life-size draft horses pulling a 42” diameter Ponderosa log. He doesn't just fabricate steel sculptures out of new steel but builds the form out of many interesting items that have had a former life. One horse is male and the other female. Says Greg, "he is more tuned to the industrial age with a gas engine and truck transmission while she is more ropes and pulleys technology with an antique hay trolley and Singer sewing machine. The log contains vintage chain saws and a misery whip."

What a curious image Jim. It is such a unique pairing with the poem. Relationships may start out hot but they can fizzle. Nicely written.

Better to start anew ... life is too short.

The shape of life is fluid--liquid--but not without its choppy waters.

It's good to be here, Jim. Work is crazy and time flies; it's good to come back.

Well, this is different! Quite a lot to take in and think about. I like Sandy's comment about the choppy waters!
