A Parched Mind by Laura Via Thursday, September 30, 2004 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
Sometimes … … words flow like that of a river. Rainy season and flash flooding of verse converge with images needing to be put onto paper. … yet … Always fear the drought when the words dry up and the mind cracks like old dirt sitting out in the sun for too long. Parched is the soul that yearns for something more than what this life can offer. Each word is a hand reaching out to others who understand.

yes i agree with bonnie, it felt like you combined two poems into one, i was still with writer's block when you moved to another subject but it is well written and i can sympathize with the block

Hi Laura, I enjoyed this write, until I reached the second to the last verse. It's a lovely verse, but jumps too quickly from writing, to spirituality. The last two lines blend the subjects, but leaves the reader hanging. Try another verse, before "Parched is the soul that". Introducing spirit into writing. It will make it all come together nicely for the reader. It's a good write. Please accept my review in good faith, as it is intended. Love, Bonnie P.S. Please do the same for me. Thank You

Nice write. I hate the times of drought. The ending is a gem.
