I-N-G

I-N-G By: Todd

I,n,g. A suffix that means continuous.
It's ever going, ever flowing.
It's ever knowing, ever growing.
So many actions have it, almost a myriad.
It's so powerful it ignores the period.
It can't be stopped, it knows what to do.
Clearly this suffix was inspired by you.

It can't be belittled, it's always needed.
Nothing is consistent unless it's heeded.
And it won't make sense unless you read it.
Like you, it must be observed.
Because to not have it makes me unnerved.
You're such a great person, such a great friend.
What you do sounds so much better without E, and D at the end.
Showing, daring, loving, caring.
Laughing, bugging, crafting, hugging.

All things done, and done repeatedly
Done with a passion, done heatedly,
Done some many times so that i know.
That you're here for me forever, you just told me so.
You'll say again and it won't be ignored.
It dulls my bad thoughts like an emery board.
You've made it clear, convinced me even.
This philosophy I'll now believe in.
The way we are I must commend.
Like I-N-G we have no end.

    This is an interesting piece. Completely unexpected. The title certainly gives nothing away - and I am not completely sure about this title, although it does do it's job.

    I'm a little speechless, but here goes:

    Firstly flow and rhyme were spot on.
    The content was a surprise, but a pleasant one. This is quite an enjoyable read.
    To me it sounds as though you are really close to this friend or you may have feelings for them...??
    Anyway a great write.

    Corrections:
    First line:
    I,N,G -- I think you should write it as you have the title with the '-' in between the letters .. or is this how it's written in the dictionary or something, because that's the impression I get from the first line. The line itself doesn't give much away it kind of leaves you thinking 'WTF?' LOL

    Third stanza; third line:
    'Done some many' - should be 'Done so many'

    Also, once again watch the capitalisation of your 'i' and 'i'm'

    Keep up the great work! 5/5

    This was a very interesting and enlightening view on life, (or for you, a special someone). i wasn't quite sure about the title, but i chose it because it had the least comments. but im glad i did and i might look at your other stuff now.

    i really enjoyed the concept and i felt like i understood what you were saying and it left me with a nice feeling and sense or the present. and maybe a hidden message to stop living in the past.

    thanks for sharing (and for the comment)
