Damask Rose

by N J Thornton   Feb 15, 2007


Bluestocking Dic kinson -
a prattler, and lewd like a
mourning dove.
Yet, the deathwatch beetle,
and time - the bone of my contention.

And dewy eyes of a dunderhead,
reveal the wanton breadth,
of my awry tete-a-tete.

But, Maiden's poesies are curt,
and misdeemed,
like the damask rose bush.

    Is that a blush you bring to my cheek? I enjoy what the fact you create more than just an image, you create an atmosphere here.

    Not your best poem, but still great. It seems a little bit more forced.
    Still, you have a great vocabulary.
    4/5
