Due Consideration (Free verse) by Dovina

An urgent whisper rises strained I hold it back hold breath Could it sound or only crack trying To restrain that unborn word might forfeit all To give voice, gain too much and what if that whisper isn’t ‘No’? After due consideration I ignore reason Better to take whatever pain release breath and thereby know

Burp -by ALChemy

Belching out my songs of love and philosophy
I hold my breath to kill the beast I feed upon
It's meat is rough but not enough to discourage me
And now I've said it all
and now I've done it all
and now I've had it all
I ate it up all gone

One wonders how many millions read the biting comments listed under many of the poems posted here and think "Nope, no frickin way I putting my stuff up there to get lambasted like that." Maybe they should read this poem first for confidence.
