Rebel Desires
That which is denied
only makes it more desirous,
to be a rebel within
the standards dished out by others.
Only makes it more desirous
to want to cheat the death of
the standards dished out by others,
drive faster, jump from planes.
To want to cheat the death of,
or maybe just read banned books,
drive faster, jump from planes,
the risk is worth the scrutiny.
Or maybe just read banned books,
like a piece of forbidden fruit,
the risk is worth the scrutiny
to light the darkness created by fear.
Like a piece of forbidden fruit,
I lap up the juices and rebel,
to light the darkness created by fear,
that is the ultimate response.
I lap up the juices and rebel,
to be a rebel within
to light the darkness created by fear,
That which is denied.
This is a dandy poem. I'm not familiar with the form you used, but I could see the pattern and really liked it. A favorite line: "I lap up the juices and rebel," Thank you. xoA
ReplyDeleteAnnis, this is a pantoum, where you repeat the second and fourth lines in the following stanza. They are so much fun to write. I'm glad to enjoyed the poems.
