Blink Of An Eye... Poem by Annette Aitken

Blink Of An Eye...

Rating: 4.9


Blink Of An Eye

For,
in the blink of an eye
to go from being the most
Adorable. to
being the scariest person
you've ever met
so mysterious
so complicated
but, magnetic
like a perfect storm of sunshine
mixed with a little hint of hurricane
a constant struggle
a continuous battle between
the heart and the mind.

But,
beware of getting angry
for even the devil
will run for cover.

A crisp and concise rendering of the nature of humanity in mimicry of nature. A beatific countryside bathed in sunshine may so suddenly become the anvil of crashing thunderstorm fury; so too the human heart. Smartly written, dear friend. :) S

Sounds like the typical woman to me! ! ! Okay, I'll be serious now. Truly, anger is a beast that lies inside all of us just waiting for a careless word or irritating trip to explode and, as you say, give even the devil second thoughts.This is an excellent piece of writing and I like the way you structured this poem- - from the adorable to the raging, that was quite a scenic trip. This is well worth a hundred 10's- - -10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
