Potential Energy

24/08/2020 -  Poem a Day Compilation



There is a concept in science

That relates to the energy possessed

By a body by virtue to its location

Relative to that of others.



A common example can be seen

When a child is on a swing,

Being pushed by their doting parent

Without a thought for the forces at work.



The potential energy is shown

At the very top of the swing,

Just before making its descent

And transforming into the kinetic kind.



The same can be said of writers

When they have an idea form in their head

That is the top of their swing

Before the release of the writing phrase.



So, writers, don’t be afraid

If you get told that you have potential.

This means that all of that energy

Is ready to be unleashed on the world.
