Drip Dry

Drip Dry

I think if I would see you today
I would fall in a heap to the floor, weeping,
and you could stick a stick in me,
and mop the floor.
No need for rinsing or wringing.
Just put me in some dark closet for another day.

I understand this completely, but there will be better days. Nicely done Amp.

[CdnReader]

Wow, Amp! This is one powerful little collection of important words. I understand and empathize with the depth of this.

[PrinceMyshkin]

YES! to what Poppy and Cdn both said! How pure is the ache in this! I think the title might be a touch flippant - or too playful? - for something so strong and sincere.

[Pendragon]

I don't know, Amp, I like the title. Anyone who's ever had a complete emotional breakdown and cried what people call, by paradox, (a really good cry), knows the drip, drip of tears to the floor until you drip dry. Great title, great poem.

This is an excellent poem Ampoule. Who could stick a stick in you?

[Virgil]

I like it too Amp. Such a visual image in sticking a stick. Very imaginative. I kind of agree with Pen in the logic of it: how do you dry something if you're crying? But really good though.

Wasn't there a thread at one point about "Really Vexing Household Issues," of which an example was the age-old question: How could one sop up the moisture of a wet floor with a mop that was already somewhat damp.

Good point Prince, maybe you're right. I do like the poem and i'm not sure i would change anything.

Oh God. This is very powerful, yes. I love the image. The last line tells a lot.

This poem is perfect. You just blow me over with these high level emotional but brief punches. I love the way the poem sounds, the way it looks and the way you express yourself. And I agree with Virgil, "stick a stick" is a powerful sound in this poem. Kudos, Amp!

[mazHur]

Bravo !I must say Amp has written a classical poem this time,,,,,,,,a perfect classic poem in all respect.
Congrats Amp

How powerful and beautiful. I know this feeling and I bet a lot of us do.
I think this is one of my favorites. But then, I think every one of your poems is my favorite. This is great.
