he is my secret. by Emily G Myershe is brown velvet
and he leaves me inarticulate
he is sand
dry and soft
or wet and dark
but always so warm
and he makes me a child
he is thick drapes
& hardwood floors
brick on brick
wreckless
pillows
on the floor
he is a lit fireplace
he is heat and home
and he is
the most beautiful secret

Posted by Julie Adams on 05/15/06 at 06:34 PM I really like this piece, the imagery feels fresh and is well placed, each within its own stanza...I think the last two lines feel a little abrupt, but a strong poem none the less...glad Gee told you to post it! I loved: "he is heat and home"...happy writing/reading, *jewels* |
Posted by Sarah Graves on 06/01/06 at 08:41 PM I think this piece is finished, because if any thing else was added.. it would seem diluted. I really like how you intertwine words here, and make them fit your meaning.. clever, and interesting to read. Great work :) |
