acuity of touch

hearts slump against each other
lost in the seance of love
flaming sky loiters towards them

sanguine espression dissolves

ACUITY OF TOUCH

dissolved sanguinity

flames the loitering sky

love for lost seance

breaks slumped hearts


"crying against that fur is so comforting"

gautami you are the first of the poems i have read today to use one of the word prompts in the title itself, well done! the format and style works great, love the transition with the title itself serving as the median. (and thanks for the help with the word verification glitch) enjoyed.

Julie Jordan Scott said...

ahhh, loved this. Especially SANGUINE. (I read your poem and realized I left Sanguine OUT of my poem, completely.)

Enjoyed the rhythm and pacing as well.

Thank you!
