Eleven Words - One Poem: Elfchen

[Nighthawk]

Sand
sink hole
sliping in deeper
lacking power to get
Out

 

[digger]

Out,
Damn'd spot!
Out, I say!
...Okay, that might be
Cheating. ;)

 

[EmmaDancing]

Cheating
At life
Isn't that easy
Where's the goddamn answer
Key?

 

[Kintsugi]

Key
Note, motion.
The piano plays.
I shudder from the
Memories.

 

[rainy_daze]

Memories
swirling around.
Struggling to forget.
I try instead to
Accept.

 

[EmmaDancing]

Accept
Your imperfections
Your beautiful flaws
Your scars, they tell
Stories.

 

[digger]

Stories
She read
And gave herself
Another life with each
Book.

 

[Lucycat]

Book
a table
at a restaurant.
Eat it all up-
Never!

 

[EmmaDancing]

Never
Again will
I be so
Foolish as to love
You.

 

[Kintsugi]

You
Use polyurethane
To seal the
Wood away from the
Rot.

 

[digger]

Rot
It seemed
Quite apt really.
The decay at last
Exposed.

 

[EmmaDancing]

Exposed
I shiver
Smell the chlorine
Wet cement and popsicles;
Summer.
