NaPoWriMo prompt: The idea is to write a poem in which two things have a fight. Two very unlikely things, if you can manage it. Or perhaps your two things could be linked somehow – like a rock and a hard place – and be utterly sick of being so joined.
Battle of heart and mind
Scrap! Scrap!
Snide bickering feelings
concealing resentment;
a critical poke
rubbing in the lies
heart doubts –
did you really say that?
Scrap! Scrap!
Heart and mind friction
subtly –
Why can’t you be kind?
It’s all-out war!
Mind, I know it’s true,
I think…
Think, think…
What if?
Let the head choose
Forgive
Love
It’s the right thing to do.
Scrap! Scrap!
You’re not to be trusted
Nowhere is safe –
Poison is choking –
Don’t be vulnerable!
Heart, hide again.
Scrap! Scrap!
Knock down the walls,
He keeps His word.
Come out!
Soften up
and give Him your heart
You can trust Him.
Shalom.
