A Crazy Impulse, An Urgent Need Poem by Ghada Shahbender

A Crazy Impulse, An Urgent Need

Rating: 3.6


Uncontrollably weeping I reach for my phone
I ring him up and get an out of service tone
I know he's away and that's all I'll hear
But somehow when I call him I feel he's near
I write him a message that he'll never read
I have this crazy impulse, this urgent need
I know its irrational, I know its insane
But it helps me through the day and eases the pain

This is universal and appealing. I would like you to try (for yourself) this poem in free verse and see if it has more impact. Sometimes rhyme gets in the way. (although I write in rhyme often.) Raynette
