What is power?
Strength maybe?
Nah, stength is what gets you through hard times
Power...
Is it control?
Any fool can have control, but yet not hold power
Power...
A force spawned
By the contradicting combination
Of Love and Fear
Power...
An idea
Suggesting the supremacy
Of one with unique abilities
Power...
A decisive factor
Giving an individual
The voice of a population
Power...
A desire
Held by many
But held by few
Power...
A product
Of the mind........


just me messing around...not normally my style at all but i like experimenting with different forms of poetry....never know......get at me with some thoughts...

it was good, but i didn't like the shortness of the lines,
didn't rhyme, but i don't think it was meant to,
so all in all, keep it up, and lengthen your lines,
peace

i'm glad ur back!! i always liked ur pieces....nice piece..even if it wasn't ur style..hollah..God bless..1.

i really liked this....i didnt think u cood really express what power is but you did and you did so fluently n inteliigently...i liked also how you made the questions seem rhetorical,even though they arent....hmmm i liked the short lines it was the form of the piece n it made the piece what it was.nice job gurl
much luv

"gurl"? lol...nah love, i think you've been a little misled......hahaha...i hope i dont really come off as a woman....anyways, thanx for the replies....the lines are short for a reason...each line connects to the next one like a sentence...but at the same time they can be a statement by themselves....at least thats wat i was going for......
Peace

oh yea and...its good to be back baby blues...i like that there are still some of the cats around from when i was here before...all these new names, doesnt even seem like the same site anymore...

The recuring "power" line was an excellent touch, you conveyed the message effortlessley, and i can hardly tell if it was your style or not, it was good either way
peace

Heh. Most questions asked in poetry are rhetorical...



This was an interesting approach you took. And tackled the topic in an interesting way. Though i felt the start where you dismissed (albeit maybe partially) strength and control made it a bit stray.

But i did feel where you were trying to go with it.
