Stuck in the middle

I see gnarled limbs, tangled buds

I see fluttering losses, cold flames

I see exciting exploits
pointless danger
senseless direction

I see an oppurtunity for adventure
and I take it

Author notes

Believe it or not this poem was concieved whilst halfway stuck in a large bush. I saw a way out, and took it ^_^

Please tell me what you think

    Very nice and quite abstract. I like that in a poem. What really struck me though was this line here: "I see fluttering losses, cold flames".
    That's kins=da a paradox cuz flames can't be coold! All in all though, I really liked it! Nothing to change.

      Not a paradox. What I meant by cold flames were the leaves. Instead of using the old cliche I just made up my own way of writing it

    A Fine Way....

    to express a funny situation. Very creative and completely original as to the situation you have written about =p The way you showed this character taking what was around him, then seeing it as what they view it as is a wonderful touch to this poem. As they say, "With great literate power, comes -the experience of getting caught in a bush?"

    Fun read for me ;]
