Poetry
A Penchant
By rilLie
29 May 2008
Penchant - a strong a strong inclination, taste, or liking for something. ^__^ I checked the dictionary. Lol. A quick poem for a story I'm writing. Enjoy.

Precious and intimate
like a child's prayer at night,
will you swear you'd keep me in your arms
and always hold me tight?

I can see this working very well as a teaser at the start of a story. While I'm not enamoured of religion in any form, I like the first two lines particularly. The second two hint at all sorts of possibilities.

Hello riLie - It is nice to see you back on Great Writing. As a prayer, I think this is very nice, but I don't think that you need to ask God to swear to keep you in his arms for I am sure he already does - well I have found that to be true. I think you should change the last two lines also.

That's a very sweet and intense little poem. I suspect, unlike Josie, that you are not talking about God here - right? 
 
So don't change the last two lines!

The first line of this poem, for me, sums up the content and also stands as its own review.  
Cheers
