Poetry
For A
By kitten_princess
20 September 2006
Hmm... undecided. This poem deals with the aftermath of a very personal event... one that may have even changed my life.

I won't say anymore, in case it makes your reading of the poem biased. As usual, I would like it to be ripped to shreds with comments (constructive critisism!) Smile

She got her hair cut.

I stare at it, for a while.
That curly mass she snipped,
chopped,
cut
down to a bob

that frames her face;
those soft cheeks,
same hard eyes.

Why? She looks
right into me, as if to say:

"Yes, this is me now.
I cut my hair
and I can cut you too...

see? I can walk away now.
Don't think I can't
'cos I can."

And she gazes back,
grazing old wounds,
letting scars twinge.
Remembering to me certain
finger traces, finger tips...


But no, I must get a cut too.

GOOD EMOTIONAL UNREST!

HI Sarah! 
 
I like your style and from your poem it reflects that you are an emotional person by nature! Aren't we all lady? Unleash your emotions from within as it helps to lighten up and trust me there are more good works I expect from you to come!
