Today’s Blog Poetry Slam topic is a repeat.  I actually originally had another topic, but this topic just kept speaking to me.  When the art talks, you have to listen.  No one can escape the gravity of poetry.

The original Gravity Poetry Slam

Rules:

• Write a poem related to the topic in the comments
• Poem can be any length
• Poem can be any tone (funny, sad, sentimental)
• I’ll respond to each poem with an original haiku 🙂

Here is mine:

my heart is on the floor
i wish someone could extract the gravity out of it
and transfer it to my feet
so i can finally stand
on solid ground
and maybe motivation
instead of  inertia
can keep me moving
past the pain
and I can take a step
forward
away
from you.
