hard yellow daylight
dropped in her window
harsh wind barked at the roof
tones of irritants rang bells
buzzed out their warning ~
each man she conjures
out of the morning glow
becomes a midnight stranger

I could picture her so well.
thanks for sharing
How nice... loved the image that came with it.
I like this! Seemed like I was right there next to her.
a wonderful write....such lovely images.
i've been away from the island for a bit and i've missed your poems. glad they're still lovely as always :)
Lovely images in your poem! So sad the life she leads - perhaps she's looking for the one to save her?
Very dreamlike imagery. I love it! I hope her glowing morning wishes and a less cold reality find a way to intersect.
Beautiful words about a harsh reality about loveless encounters
This is wonderful and powerful! I love the intensity of it from words like "hard, dropped, harsh, barked, tones, irritants, buzzed, and warning". And the last line was fantastic how it starts out soft and gentle and turns into something harsher like a stranger. Your fractal totally blew me away -- what an incredible face -- otherworldly and so expressive! It's really beautiful.
:)
I loved the poem and the fractel 'potrait!' Both were astoningingly good! At least to me.
To say so much with so few words is tallent indeed. Loved it.
the flow of words and the imagery are amazing. great poem!
Tumblewords,
How straight forward your poem shows two sides to the coin of imagination!

The last line is very brave and honest and real..
I love strong women writing without the "expected" sentiment.
i love the visual this brings
She should listen to her mother, who, I am sure, taught her never to talk to strangers....
Fun post, and I love your fractals!
It seems (to me) you've been creating some sparse poems with amazing depth. (Or is this my imagination?) I like the times of day--the different light--and sensual details.
Mmmmm.... as usual, lovely work. I am quite in awe of what you do with words. :)
Form & content work well here. Concentrating content within a short poem is always a challenge.
Sooo short, so poignant, so sad, Thank You!
a short poem bursting with imagery ... lovely and powerful at the same time
An excellent poem, packed full of such strong images. The way she conjures lovers reminds me of Helen Reddy's "Angie Baby".
"tones of iritants"
love the depths of this phrase!
Very cool -- and deep, indeed. I'm pretty fascinated by this.
Thanks for stopping by; I hope you'll come back more often!
Wonderful, intense imagery in this poem. Brilliant! JP/deb

Hmm...so good. I love the last three lines. And the picture is so intriguing. Fantastic!
