Root Erosion Poem by Stevie Taite

Root Erosion

Rating: 5.0


Longevity Suffocates and can be too mucH
Omitted less easily, the repeated small stigmA
Vexing even the most forgiving, patient hearT
Eroding loves foundations with roots of hatE

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Not always! I don't think it's gonna happen to my hubby and I but I have seen it happen. Couples love turning into hate.

This poem is more than just a clever setup (which has inspired me by the way-if only I had your wit!) it is also written beautifully and conveys so much in four short lines. Excellent write-lovely read!

It's strange there's only a one letter difference between hate and heart; fiend and friend. This poems looks a little into why that is or rather, why they really can be that close and blurred. Nice sort of nugget insight that's good to have in the morning to think through it during the day. -M

Love this poem and what it says...and oh, how true it can be....unfortunately. How clever of you to set it up the way you did....shows imagination! ! ! and I never realized what Mark had to say, about the one letter differences in those words! ! ! ! ! Excellent poem said in such short form. Thanks for it.
