Water Runs Deep (Free verse) by shwenatjadeflower

I am a placid lake with still waters that run deep. I wonder what people consider the good in me. I hear the winter frost crackling over top of me. I see the air nipping at the valley surrounding me. I want to imagine the future. I am a placid lake with still waters that run deep. I pretend I can soar over the country. I feel the encompassing tune of a string quatet and it moves me. I touch the beautiful blue of the sky as I reflect it. I worry that I am like flypaper, drawing you in, never to be released. I cry because I could be the ping pong ball guided by the paddle and hand with no idea where I'll land. I am a placid lake with still waters that run deep. I understand that the stillest waters hide the most potent currents. I say that the world is forgetting. I dream of a world where everyone's waters run deep.

Thanks for the tirade of abuse that you launched upon me yesterday. It neither made my day nor destroyed it. You do have an interesting way of constructing insults-is there any way you can put this to use except on poemranker? Not saying it's not welcome here of course but i was just wondering whether this is your only outlet. If so perhaps you could try out being that old grumbling man on the bus that dribbles, mumbles about steak and kidney pies and occasionally pisses himself.
