National Poetry Month and the terrible poetry continues!
Last year’s Day 7 theme was tense. This could be tense situations or muscle conditions or verb presentations.
I decided to use a little free verse to write about the meaning I was most familiar with.
Tension
It’s an invisible wire
pulling on points
so subtly that
when the wire
releases
muscles fall like
marionette limbs,
and in the relief
you realize that
all this time
you weren’t ready.
You were just
tense.
