The Day Before Life

It was the realization of the moment

the irony of the scene,

I was the teacher

She was the student,

Change was near


The sound of roaring lions…

vs. the presence of an anaconda

filled the air with an outspoken silence,

Change has spoken


I wait,

Patiently with the vengeance of a

tortured soul and a weary heart,

Running, running, running…

Change chases me


I stand,

Using the strength of the anaconda,

The weapons of the tortured soul

and the troubles of the weary heart…

I allow change

good metaphors, i like how you ran away from change at the beginning and then accepted it.

Dang girl! keep it up you can write good! You use really good descriptive word. I also like your I dream poem it's true but not going to happen!

I like how you used the word "change" in different ways.

Also, even though it may be a sort of weak compliment, I like the title. It makes you want to read the poem. Like if this was ever in a poetry book, I'd definitely read it just by looking at the title.

I like the way you used the two animals to describe different feelings. That itself gives meaning to what you're trying to say.

Great job.

This poem is great. My favorite part is where you are vs. the sound of a lions roar to a presence of anaconda. You use your words so well that i get what you mean. How you allow to change with your strength, soul, and your heart.
