he draws taut
his magic bow
one arrow
a drop of vitriol
relief is slow ….
…
..
.
temporary….
Awareness erupts
as poison
slides home.
magic bow

I read this as a addict shooting up….based upon the poem…still studying the painting.

maybe an addict who’s habit is shooting his judgement at others before realising that every poisonous vibe comes back to rest in his own heart :-0

I love the meter and rhyme you have working here. But this lyric in particular sings:
one arrow
a drop of vitriol
relief is slow ….
And I do love your use of space to simulate the arrow’s flight. This is one of my new favourites of yours.

I’ll second JNM’s praise by saying that I love how you rhyme “vitriol” with “bow,” “arrow,” and “slow”–this is so startling and original, and it WORKS!

This is one of the times you should go supernova. If only to facemelt the arrow before it can even reach you. And, heck…you’re immune to poison when you’re supernova anyway, because you are purest energy…and hearing is kinda difficult when you’re melting down, due to the impossible ruckus your own explosion is creating. You’re like a freaking superhero…lol. 😀

I missed this one, Poet. Not too many people can use the word “vitriol” convincingly, but you nail it. Had fun visualizing the larger story that this must be part of.

I didn’t know I was actually telling a story until swirl girl commented and then i got thinking and woah i WAS processing a drama! not my direct drama but one in the extended family, quite full on has all the elements to engage a wide audience of soap opera fanatics!
and in relation to the word vitriol…yes i find myself using it in quite a natural fashion, its a good one!
