EXPOSED

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

EXPOSED

 

 

Behind her weary blue-chilled eyes

Unfortified by principle

Her thoughts like peeling bark expose

Reflections of resemblance seen

Relieving inexpressibly

In self-consuming vanity

Her cold ascetic face.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The short poem derived from yesterdays outtakes - hope you think the effort was worth it. Somewhat enigmatic and almost abstract .

    They are great words derived from your unused lines Michael.

    • Michael Edwards

      Must admit I prefer words to story lines - thanks Andy.

      A fine write and pic Michael. My singing's all vanity. Everyone runs away, and only I hear myself singing! heehee. Well, Miss Berles stays, but she wears ear plugs.

      • Michael Edwards

        Perhaps she can't stand the Deci Berles

        THANKS MICHAEL ~ For a neat SEXTET derived from your 25 Outakes (or variations thereof ~ now allowed since 911).

        18 ~ 24 ~ 11 ~ 4 ~ 19 ~ 7

        Rather like a "Poetry by Numbers"
        or Computer Generated Poetry !

        Here is my QUATRIAN ! 25~5~10~14

        A Man denied of Books
        In airless rooms with windows shut
        But soon the calm must come
        From the depths of discomposition !

        Yours stimulated ~ BRIAN the BARD

          Well composed sir - a work of worthy merit

        • dusk arising

          So you'd met my mother in law?
          You using your artistry of fine meaningful metaphor.

          • Michael Edwards

            Not sure but I've few in my life - thankee dusk

            Michael,

            I like how you weaved your words to expose...
            “Her cold ascetic face.”

            A great write!

            ~Laura~
