Tarina from New Zealand and her Cascade Poem

          Our first Golden Gloves award goes to Tarina from New Zealand, who, on www.fighttowrite.com TODAY checked out what cascade poems are all about and wrote a GOOD one…TODAY!

Here’s her poem, and a link to her site: Golden Gloves Winner TARINA

the web

finding out everything you ever knew

everything you’d been told

it was all lies.

your mind could not take it

sitting behind the oak desk

I feel a stranger though your brother

reading through your journal

finding out everything you ever knew

you were confined

they kept you within their bounds, controlled

you couldn’t break free because of

everything you’d been told

so-called friends would reassure you

the world was still upright

you needn’t consider

it was all lies

finally, all their true intentions

when the web was revealed

you saw the world for what it was and

your mind could not take it
