earlobes
by Emily Davidsonhe told me
that i had adorable
earlobes
and it scared me to think
he could love me
down to such insignificant details;
i couldn't believe
that this was real
and in the end,
it wasn't. 05/09/2007 Posted on 05/09/2007

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 05/10/07 at 03:42 AM Short and bittersweet. I like the story told here, the moment of possible happiness, the inner warning, and the all-too-true(false) ending. Nicely done. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 05/10/07 at 02:30 PM Though provoking poem. Although I greatly enjoy nibbling on a woman's earlobes, I certainly wouldn't base love on that one piece of anatomy. |
| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 05/13/07 at 04:56 AM Nice mirroring of meaning and language...the shortness and the one central image matches the "insignificant detail", "in the end" matches the end, as it was, and it all has a good spoken feelng as if a shared sudden insight, or a thoughtful conclusion, realized and well put! |
