this isnt the best thing in the world...but hey i hope it doesnt suck *that* bad.

Emotions run
Emotions fly
Emotions leave
And are left behind

Emotions swell
Emotions overpower
Emotions kill
By the hour

Emotions revive
Emotions live
Emotions take
And also give

Emotions weaken
Emotions flare
Emotions strengthen
With every glare

Emotions speak
Yet have no words
Emotions seek
And only leave sores

Ethel..
i enjoyed it..you did well!
Two things though..personally, i think that title should be "Emotions", just because you only say "emotions run once...its just an idea..you dont have to change it..it just shows all types of emotions, and in this poem they arent only running, they are..flying, leaving...and so on..got me..
and..
the second stanza
Emotions swell
Emotions overpower
Emotions kill
By the hour

I liked that one the best..its meter flowed the best!!
Hope to see more from you!!

Funny thing is I completely disagree with Jeff.  
The title is fine as it is, "emotions" would just be predictable.
And I felt the second stanza was devastating for the meter, "overpower" had way too many syllables.  
Ah well... just my opinion.  Aside from that I thought this was one of your better works.  Well done, Ethel!

This was good, Ethel.  I thought the repitition was wonderful, and the flow, although broken in a few places, was overall very good.  Nice work.
I agree with Allan about the title.  
Well done.

Well done on the over all poem, but the flow within the second stanza is completely off. The others work fine.
I enjoyed the poem very much.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Not a bad poem.  I've read better ones from you.  I'm not sure if you put as much time and effort on this.  Just my feeling on it    keep sharing though.  I love reading your poems

So long lives this, and this give life to thee."  W.S.
