*+* Teardrops Sliding down cheeks, Washing away the pains That threaten to choke off living. Endorphins released by frankly weeping, Bringing heart back into balance. Let the tears fall freely; Hold not back your Teardrops. *+* [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (07-28-2003 11:17 AM).] |

gem ~ Actually it was the combination of reading Ethel's poem and Icebox's, that inspired me to write this piece. She allows tears to flow while he does not--and I myself, cry rivers at times!---and then I'm all better! EA |

Holding back teardrops is usually never a good thing to do....   ~ElizabethDreams last for so long, even after you're gone... |

skyshine ~ Thatsaforsure! That is why I let go--and let 'em flow!--Then I'm over it and ready to write a new page in my life's book! Unfortunately, some pains require more tears than others... EA |

Martyrpriest ~ If I do not understand someone's poem, I do not enjoy it as much either; however, there are always some aspects of it that I can appreciate! When we cry, endorphins are released into our bloodstream. They are called "Feel-good hormones"--and they actually do make us feel much better! By not letting go of some of our pain through tears, we keep it bottled up inside--and that is not a very healthy thing for us to do. I do not know whether or not you are familiar with the rictameter poetic form but it starts off with 2 syllables (beats), the second line has 4 beats the third line has 6 the fourth---8 the fifth---10 the sixth---8 then-- 6 then-- 4 then-- 2 (the same as in first line) I hope this helps. You may appreciate the poem more if you do understand it better! If not, thank you for reading and replying! Warm welcoming hugs, Earth Angel [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (07-28-2003 02:50 PM).] |
