Trading - Day 41

Inspired by the V shape in the first picture. I rarely have an idea where my poems will take me. I just start writing with a general theme, find a pattern or feel and stick to it.

V is for vendetta,
But I don’t find any here.
Overwhelmed by magnificence
-Stripped of my veneer-
Trading fear for fear.

Laying down false pretenses
That tax my every nerve.
Breathing in cold, crisp clearness
-Bestowing reverie verve-
Trading swerve for swerve

Giving up my expectations
That throw me to the ground.
Anticipating completely
-Whatever comes around-
Trading pound for pound.

Releasing pent up anger
That jerks me by the strings.
Repeating howls that echo
-And give my soul new wings-
Trading swings for swings.
