You Make Me Feel Small

by Genevieve Sturrock

you stand almost a foot taller
than me in my high heels
and i have to reach
up high to kiss
your cheek but
you always
bend to
meet
me

your hands span my back
curl around my sides
and remind me of
your strength
and control
as you ever
so gently
caress
me

when i curl up in your lap
my head fits perfectly
on your shoulder and
your arms wrap me
in a passionate
embrace that
makes my
cheeks
burn

for a girl who is one inch
taller than average and
about as a graceful as
an ox it says a lot
that you make me
feel desirable
and feminine
and even
small

Amazing! When I first looked at this, I thought our local weather had shaped itself in words through a quill onto a page. We had terrible weather last night. Tornadoes everywhere so looking at it as a whole immediately flashed "tornado!" like my beside clock was flashing of time stopped... I love the presentation of caressed femininity with these shapes!

Fantastic how you reinforce the main thesis of your poem within a concrete form. Well done.

I really like the shapes of the stanzas as you reinforce how this person makes you feel, and that small is a good thing. ;) I like how you describe how well you both fit together. Makes me smile... Thank you.
