In my eye, upon the sky, my hero's die
In my dream, of yonder stream, my fathers' scream
On my bed, I've already said, today I bled
To my friend, Heart to lend, I know the end
Cross my face, dots in space, but whats the case
Down my cheek, sprung a leak, he says I'm weak
Curl my fist, flex a wrist, now he's pissed
Throw my hand, faced a land, HERE I STAND

Thanks Dg, and Lakewalker...to be honest this is another one of those things just pounded onto the keyboard without thinking to too much, I'm glad though you took the time to read and reply!

cool poem, Bob. I like the way you used internal rhyme. It makes the poem sound, and look cool.  


stay cool

Yo Bob... there be some power here.  Hmmm... Classic confrontation between father and son... son seeking independance from overbearing father... possible disagreement on underlying issues.  Like the format of writting.  Not bad for just "banging" it out. Peace!

Wow, thanks again for the praise peeps!  Andrew, thats basically true what you wrote, but its not so much seeking independance as it is a kid who's not going to take this crap anymore, and he builds this anger, represses it, and then explodes without considering consequence and not caring.  Thanks for reading all!
