Girl

by George Hoerner

girl do you think?

as winter warms

and turns to spring


girl do you think?

as you comb your hair

and prepare for another day


girl do you think?

as the mundane tasks

pursue you through the day


girl do you think?

as daylight pales

and the sky turns to stars


girl do you think?

as you lie in bed

and another day ends


girl do you think?

ever

of

me?

Oh, the html definitely adds to the depth of it. Though I have to admit, I was quite convinced it was going somewhere "blonde" at first, lol. I was already empathizing with the non, well-maybe-occasionally, thinker... Yes, I am a sick, sick woman. Great poem George.

Excellent use of that tool, George! I hope she does, and I hope the "me" of it isn't as small as you portrayed.

This is powerful even before the ending...the ending simply clinches everything while informing as well. ~JPP

Simple questions made compelling by your structure here. Cool.

I like the structure and that the thoughts would become more so throughout the day and yes even as her head lay you might whisper through her dreams. smh.

Cool use of HTML and it works well with the build up and then the ending is a nice turn.

The formatting really adds a new dimension to this piece.
