Mother May I.

by Leah20   May 19, 2006


Have you found it yet?
...No? Just keep on looking
Hidden in deep dark solace
Lies a secret...

I can be a doctor mother
No, really I can
I can saw a heart into pieces
Look mother, look right now I am

Mangled deadly insects
Drifting steadily into decay
Almost a good enough poison
For my lunch today

Mother, Mother listen close
Hear the beating heart
That I some how managed to tear enough
That it eventually fell apart

Mother look, now this,
This is my favorite part
I'll show you my canvas
For this beautiful work of art

Mother, mother
Do you see
The mandled and tangled
Art work of which I breathe

Look mother now
Now I can reveal
My beautiful art strewn canvas
Until now carefully conceiled

Oh and mother, mother I also forgot
To show you my favorite tool
For the operation I will perform tonight
My nightly earthly duel

I perform it with my hatchet
A lovely sharp, cold blade
Drawing it across my skin
Don't you realize its for my life to save

    I enjoyed it, it was very dark. A lot of emotion can be felt in it. I like the way u kinda concealed everything which gave it a dark tone. For grammar purposes I would try using more periods to end your sentences, but thats just to make it look nicer, and also just in case the reader gets confused, he/she knows when a sentence is over, and it gives the poem a nice flowing rhythm. Other then that I really liked it=D Please keep up the good work!
