Poetry
To Love A Woman
By Turquoise-Tangerine
20 June 2008




  Akin to supple danseur nobles
  Lawrence stands upon tip-toes
  to snatch a glossy publication
  from the highest of the shelves.
     Paper bag thrust under arm
     he ambles slowly through the snow
     and lost in dreams of fornication
     mutters quietly to himself:
         "Let it be known that I once loved
          a woman blessed with vacant eyes
          and where the staple pierced her breast
          my unencumbered eyes now rest."

I don't know what to say, I really love this poem! You formatting is great as well (expect the third stanza is one space too far to the right). 
 
 
Good job…

Thanks, Pino, and good spot on the formatting. I've now changed the spacing on stanza 3. 
 
Cheers, 
Turk.
