erased emotions strewn about
like clothing on the bedroom floor
in the corner a pile of shout
a few fears hid behind the door
hope peeps out from under the bed
erased emotions strewn about
can they be poked back in her head
gathered in piles of stinking doubt
venomous words from an angry mouth
it will take a lot to clean this mess
erased emotions strewn about
tear stained carpet and wrinkled stress
gather it up and launder all
love and laughter to take stains out
fold it fresh the weekly call
erased emotions strewn about
more work on quaterns using lines from some older poems
I love the imagery that runs about in this poem..so carefully wrapped up and just about straightened out (on the top at least) by the end verse..i think my favourite image is ‘erased emotions strewn about
like clothing on the bedroom floor’…sometimes it’s good to have a shout, let it out and then find someone kind to laugh about it with…we love your Detritus! 😉
