Hunger Pangs

What can I compare you to
Ooh hunger pangs?
An ulcer that upon her mouth soar fluid tasted
Or a corrosive acid that
Upon my skin fell?


This weight of an empty stomach that
Weighs me down as I in
Slow motion rise from my sitting!
What can I compare you to?
To weight of liquor to a
Drunk who can't find his footing,
Or an empty tin that
can't in a howling wind
find its stand for its own weightlessness?


A thunder storm roars not in clear sky,
A cloudless sky.
But in my empty belly,
Roars this very storm!


Ooh hunger pangs,
To your own strength you concede!
Gradually to vanity you vanish.
As I to eternal bridge of darkness sink.
Weakness I feel,
Pain I feel not
As to eternal oblivion I so journey.

Form or Structure.

Poetry is one of the oldest and most versatile forms of literature. It is often seen as a free form of writing where the writer can let their emotions and thoughts roam free.  It can be used to tell stories, convey emotions, make a statement, or simply entertain. While this may be true to some extent, poetry still has a form and structure that the writer must adhere to. To make your poetry effective, it's important to understand the form and structure of poetry. The most basic unit of poetry is the line. A line can be as short as one word or as long as an entire line of a page. Most poems are composed of multiple lines, which are usually grouped into stanzas. A stanza is a unit of poetry that typically contains multiple lines and is self-contained.
