I started writing again only recently after many years lacking any will or inspiration to do so. I'm not terribly technically apt - I just like to put pen to paper. Rather, I suppose, in my case it's "finger to key" or something like that. I prefer to write playfully but meaningfully.
I like metaphor, pun and strong imagery. Please share your reactions to my poem, as well as any feedback or suggested edits. Thank you kindly for reading.
A worry grows
It goes and goes
It stacks in rows like dominoes
It slithers, too - come-hithers you
Encapsulates you like a tomb
It swallows limbs
and finds its way into your chest and makes a nest
and burrows deep
and sleeps and grows and grows and sleeps
until it goes
It twists itself around your neck
and finds your ear
and settles there - another lair
until it grows, and then it goes
It goes and goes
