Poem Artwork

... no fair.  you made me cry on
Christmas when you found the
dirty little secret hidden away

in a dark corner of the attic, a
Pandora's box of jealousy and
envy that should never have

seen the light of day.  no.  you
just had to tear it open, didn't
you, flinging the paper across

the room, showing it off to the
rest of the world, regardless
of how i'd feel --- wasn't yours

to do with what you wanted.
now everyone will see the truth
--- as if the rest of the brightly

colored gifts were not enough,
you had to rip out my heart as
well?  hope you're happy now.

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (12/26)

I'm sorry to hear your Christmas wasn't entirely happy, Karla. Sometimes it can be emotional for us. It holds many memories. Hugs,

A reason and season for every deed under heaven. Crying the tears of betrayal then rejoice in the fact that it would be no longer a secret. Out in the open there is no fear of it any longer. Call it Destiny, Call it fate, Call it the time to remember. In a short time only your enemies will remember, those who love you the most will still be by your side and perhaps now will share their secrets. A heart felt write for who ever it was meant for you have caught our eyes here. LadyJ

Pandora boxes should be left alone in attics of our souls where there's never a spark of light anywhere.

Pent up emotions tend to percolate when they shouldn't and fully erupt at the most unfortunate times. I hope you put a flaming lump of coal in his stocking. Patrick

Powerfully shared and full of captivation in the way it was penned! Great analogies of painful secrets to Christmas presents!
Superbly done... except, i hope it wasn't true!

With love, hugs, and admiration,

Suzie :-D

One can only surmise what was found, and if what was found was something of physical substance or psychological substance. Is the attic truly a place of exposed wooden beams or shadows in the writer's mind? As always, your words, Karla, cause one to hesitate and think, and that's a very good thing.

I must have been waiting for this one, Karla, I'm on it like white on rice. Love this wail you have built into your poetry tonight, very nicely done. This one, to me, is special, it talks that talk and walks that walk . . .
