Tarnished

by N J Thornton   Jan 21, 2007


Lipstick
and eyeliner -
artistic expression,
red ribbons and lace entwined.

Last words,
a blush secret -
soft pout of veneer woe,
lurid tears and tarnished metal.

    I really like this. It's very unique and short but to the point. I think you would be excellent at writing some styled poetry, shorter styles because you have a way of writing with such meaningful strong words. This is really great, I can't find anything wrong with it.

    I'd also just like to thank you for your comment on my poem. I appreciate that there was critique, I want to improve, and it helps, so thanks. =]

    5/5 for this.

    This poem is great. It explains exactly what love and life can be. Atleast that is what I got out of it, that is how it makes me feel.
