When Hurt Lingers Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
When Hurt Lingers
He was thrown
Like a tin can
Kicked akin to a piece of slipper
Crushed beyond recognition
Left alone in a crap hole
No one showed mercy.
The sound of a fall
The groan of the wounded
The lingering agony
The smell of death
No one showed mercy.
He conquered death
Rose like an animal
Licked his own wound
From the sole of the foot
To every strand of the hair
The hurt catapulted him
Into a warrior
Wounded everyone
No one could stand against
For he showed no mercy

He was thrown like a tin can/Kicked akin to a piece of slipper/Crushed beyond recognition....excellent use of simile! I adore the altitude of poetic imagination reflected throughout the poem! Lines like 'He conquered death', 'Licked his own wound' are absolutely immaculate! An amazing piece of poetry!
