Home

in need of a teddy beR

by Shannon McEwen

In gloomy darkness
The vague sound of rubber
Splash by on wet roads

Chubby raindrops knock
Against chilly window panes
Echo through my heart

Every resonance
Kick starts already fragile nerves
Stomps air out of lungs

Until the pressure
Constricts all rational thought
Where now fear remains

chubby raindrops? ahhh...that's good. softens the poem a bit in my opinion, but it really blasts against those windows eh? this is short...but appropriately so. this is needy/fetal position poetry. hungry for love/affection/companionship...not afraid to admit it. well-written. word choice delicious like warm pie. fine fine fine.
