Poem Artwork

Long
    lovely
        legs
Gleaming pillars
    proper
        distant
            cold
Caught short in a flair 
                     of plaid
Red
    bold and yet 
                      demure 
The form does not compute

Loveliness
     unattainable
          aloof
She'll never feel
     unless
          she wants to
While I
          fool
               feel
Too 
       damned
                   much

If she's proper, she's unattainable for me.

You don't just write, Roger, you create, you cascade, you paint... there is design in your phrasings.

'fool...feel' I felt the self-effacing melancholy, yet there is no plea for sympathy, instead, this reaches down to where these feelings lurk in all of us. You expose yourself on your own terms... and this reader "gets" that. I love this poem. katy xox

Wow, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is too cool!

I like your format and the flow is as smooth as velvet on perfumed skin. The imagery is rich and vibrant while the writing is crisp, clean, crackling.
