30/30 Day Nine Compare

Once again I had to go str8 from the dome because I just couldn't get this one either you can try the way I did or the prompt below I did it so that every other line is one poem and ever line between that is a poem but they are both inter-related in the last line






Why are you so blind?
I wonder what it is you see?
You can never see when someone is hurting me
How can you love someone so weak?
You never stop to think that maybe the man that you "love" so much leads to pain
Maybe love is weakness
I can't understand why you put up with is bullshit when you know there's someone looking for you
Maybe you afraid of being alone
He's someone we can count on
Maybe your afraid of change
Someone who wants to love you and hold you
Maybe you don't think it's right
But you can't see past that chump of a man you call my father
I hope your not blind forever
I'm glad he hasn't found you yet
So at least you won't have to be in pain
So when he does find you you'll know what a dog looks like
You don't even know how much I care
And Maybe then you'll see that what you got now
I just want you to know you don't have to hurt
Isn't worth the price your paying
Because you've got me



Wonders
(after the traditional rhyme “I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail”)
by
Susan Marie Swanson

I saw a tiger
burning bright

I saw the sun
in the middle of the night

I saw a star
torn from a tree

I saw a leaf
holding a key

I saw a pocket
full of art

I saw a book
shaped like a heart

I saw a stone
coming untied

I saw a shoelace
wiggle and hide

I saw some tadpoles
buzzing round a cake

I saw a bumblebee
high above the lake

I saw a cloud
pacing at the zoo

You can see
these wonders too!
