ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE

poem by: Kenvil Atkins
Written on Jan 22, 2020

Find me a man who will capture the sun and keep it just for fun 
Brightly it shine over my head one night so low I could not run 
Into a bottle I lure it in not thinking about its power to heal  
It rumble up and down the bottle edge I knew I had the real deal 
Then it stop and die at the rim top a frosty chill came over me 
All was not well it seems to me my mind was icy blue you see 
The thunder echoed near and far the world was crumbling free 
I try my best to set it free to no avail it lay dying there you see 
Horror fill my soul for wanting to possess what I could not keep  
Sheer brute strength I pull myself awake to find out it was a fake 
My tiny bed was quite a state the news came out there was a quake 
But I will never forgot the sun and moon yes if that’s what it takes

I love your expressions and the beauty of your poetry. It is quiet obvious to me, you are a knowledgeable and good poet.

From one poet to another its the glow of the written words that shine, and the honesty of the writer I find inspiration in your work as well.
