Pulse

by N J Thornton   Aug 6, 2007


She hid behind
the satin curtain;
blushing,
as the ruby cloaked
her laughter
she felt her pulse
in her ears.

And as he grasped her
she felt his pulse
on her lips.

    Excellent work, despite changing the rhythm between the stanzas I felt it all flowed perfectly. Both the moment you have picked to describe and the way you do this really impresses me. Very enjoyable read.

    Very short, I felt it could be a lot longer, however; I liked the short lines it made it feel like it was all happening so fast. Great write for such a short poem.

    Peace, Joe

    The poem itself is a huge metaphor. I have fallen in love with it. I actually find the figurative language breathtaking, and truly worthy of note. Its length seems to me to be efficient in augmenting the poem's appeal. A delight to read, nevertheless. ~Marian

    To me this poem was short but said alot within it so I enjoyed it. Your word choice was really simple to me but effective at the same time. A smoothe flow was brought over this piece which you maintained throughout each line. A great ending. Overall this was a great read which I did really enjoy. ~Mel
