Spinning Top Peace
spinning top peace..
I had a spinning top once
believing it would spin forever
But as hard as I pushed
it always
stopped
so soon it never span again
as a child
I couldn’t understand
now I do
at last, peace
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
Thinking of christmas and, presents of the past..

Thank you,
Thank you, and yes the comma is a better idea. As i said in my final words, i was looking at presents of today and started thinking of presents of the past. The spinning top came to mind and i was thinking how we tried as youngsters to see who could spin it the longest. And thought it was a bit like life. Again thank you for your time and comments. Regards Roscoe..
Roscoe Llane,
Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.

Thought - provoking write, Roscoe. Life's frustrations encapsulated in a child's toy. One point, though, is "span" the word to use? not "spun"?
