Newton's Third Law
by
Lisa Vihos


Next
 

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

go come
born die
wake sleep
land fly
run stop
start stall
spread retreat
push fall
 
cry laugh
clutch throw
mute shout
hide show
 
part combine
swell thin 
gather fling
end begin

Imaginative structure. Shows what Newton's Third Law is. I love the conciseness of it.

Interesting poem. Surely a departure from the norm. I enjoyed it.

That final line is my favorite--open closure!
