for her

by Laura Doom

the sun doesn't shine
it merely radiates heat
shrivelling her smile

Something takes a delicious turn for the sinister in such a small space. Nicely done.

can we say: ouch. OUCH. O.o like, it's soft, at first, and smoothe, like the flat of a blade, away from the edges, until you prick your finger and realize you nearly lost one. gashing.

Hmmm... your poem reflects the dark side of "light" and puts a human twist on the reality of physics you describe. A small and powerful burst of energy is your poem.

That blasted sun. Too often it is seen as a warm fuzzy. Great to see it described as a consumer that fades vitality! Great read.

quite the bite to this. And wrinkles her skin too, causing early aging? Strong work.
